It is Coming, Just Wait A Few Weeks
Yes, it is October but it is still a bit early to expect much in the WAAY of fall color across the Tennessee Valley. Peak colors across the region are normally between the 15th and 31st of the month. But with the cool nights, mild days and loss of daylight, colors should begin to be noticed over the next week. If you are wanting to already see some fall color, you will have to drive to the north into the Ohio Valley. Some color is being reported in portions of the southern Appalachians across eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina but it is still relatively low. More brilliant colors are still holding back in the northern Great Lakes. Just stay patient as it won’t be long and the colors of the season will be here, too. We will provide you with another fall foliage report next weekend. Lastly, if you see fall color and what to share it with the Valley simply take a picture and email it to pix@waaytv.com or register and become a member of our MyWAAY team.
