Storm Track Fall Color Watch

Fall Color Watch

The vibrant fall colors are just getting started! The Storm Track Weather team is on Fall Color Watch – monitoring reports come from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Travel Wisconsin.

Report: Friday, September 6

Different types of trees peak at different times, with varying color. Oak trees tend to be deeper red and peak a week or two after maples, which have a bright red foliage. Aspens and poplars peak even later, turning bright yellow.

If you have photos of fall colors that you would like to share – send to weather@wdio.com and on Facebook and Instagram.
