Currently — September 25, 2023: Happy fall! Here's your leaf-peeping guide.

It's my new favorite fall colors map.

The weather, currently.

Fall is here, and so far the trees are not disappointing this year.

My new favorite fall leaf-peeping guide is Explore Fall, which daily auto-generates a 7-day forecasted fall-colors map on almost a neighborhood scale based on weather, soil moisture, sunlight, and citizen science observations for the entire lower 48 states (sorry, no Canada yet).

Here in Minnesota, I tested out the algorithm on a few hikes this weekend and the leaves were stellar. It’s that time of year where the leaves seem to change almost hour-by-hour, so if you have a chance to get out there, don’t miss it.
