It is showing a little color now in mountains and has it past peak generally by end of October. Not sure I believe that, but we have had some years where that was true.
In my lifetime of growing up in WNC, 3rd-4th week of October was typically the date for peak color. Higher elevations were earlier, some foliage stays later and obviously it can differ from year to year, but in general that is always the target date for peak color.

I always tried to visit during that time period ... I was a little surprised that this predictor map showed the color past peak by the 3rd week of October. I am still planning to come up during the 3rd or 4th week as that always seems to be peak for the majority of the area.
I don't exactly remember last year's predictor map what it showed, but I don't think it was nearly that aggressive. Time will tell. I hope the season is beautiful and lasts several weeks!
Start itA fall foliage thread would be awesome. We could post views from homes, offices or nearby vistas. Well maybe not that awesome but whatevs. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. When hope falls eternal.

Pouring hereOnly a 60% chance of storms today compared to the 80% and 70% chance RAH had for us Wednesday night and yesterday when we didn't even get a drop of rain. Not sure how they missed it that bad, but maybe today will produce.

Eh they actually mentioned in the AFD a couple of days ago that rain chances might have a hard time getting going inland from the main sfc convergence along the coast. They were damned either way to be honest, if they cut back on rain chances and the storms along the coast barf out a big westward moving OFB and it keeps producing through the coastal plain into the piedmont then everyone is mad that they cut rain chances but it rained. Also it was a fairly big dump taken by the models especially the globals that produced a good amount of rain inland...Maybe they just had to reduce the chance to get some.
When did 80% start to = 100%?Only a 60% chance of storms today compared to the 80% and 70% chance RAH had for us Wednesday night and yesterday when we didn't even get a drop of rain. Not sure how they missed it that bad, but maybe today will produce.

I think it's not a bust if you don't get rain on your rooftop.Really? You think having 80% chance in the forecast and getting nothing is good?
I've had rain each of the last 4 days and I'm not complaining that the percentages were too low.... I also understand how they work.I think it's not a bust if you don't get rain on your rooftop.
Doh! I'm an idiot haha.... just realized that was a trend gif, geez what a 180!
That is just horrifying to look at..
