Percent of trees predicted to have changed by the coming weekend: 40%

Predominating colors: Still green with mostly yellow with hints of orange and red
Rating: Nearing Peak
While there is still green in many places, the leaves are changing fast and the wind has blown several off the trees. This weekend and over the next would be ideal to still see some color.
This weekend is packed with more events!
