For the changing leaves to turn the richest colors in autumn, the region needs a particular blend of hot and cold weather.
“To have enhanced color, we need a dry fall, with cool nights and warm sunny days,” said Russ MacFarlane, a researcher with U.S. Forest Service.
With a forecast that calls for sunshine through next week, News4’s Veronica Johnson said conditions are “just perfect” to produce those bright colors.
In higher elevations of West Virginia and Virginia, reports have already been filed of foliage changing color. Some early change has already been spotted in the higher reaches of Maryland’s Garrett County.
