Week of Thursday, October 27, 2011 - Wednesday, November 2, 2011

Thank you for visiting our Fall Foliage Forecast! Home to more than 127 varieties of trees, shrubs and plants, the Pocono Mountains is truly a spectacular sight during the fall season. Because the region stretches for 2,400 square miles, three distinct color zones are present allowing you to catch peak colors not only once, but three times. Updated every Thursday through the end of October, this forecast will assist you on where, when and how to experience the brilliant foliage in our four-county region. The report is also available by calling 570.421.5565.

Northern:  Fall colors peaked two weeks ago and only some red, orange and yellow color still remains throughout the southern areas and surrounding Lake Wallenpaupack. Most of the trees in this region have lost their leaves, as we await the winter season. Less than twenty percent of leaves remain on the trees.

Central:  Many trees are showing full color now. Most of the trees in Monroe and Pike County are past full color, however some trees including oak have retained their colors ranging from brown to red to yellow. Thirty percent of the leaves remain on the trees.

Southern:  Although peak coloration occurred last week, autumn continues to show its display of colors in many areas. The oaks were the last to reveal their colors of russet, maroons and reds. Yellow leaves are fairly common which add peaceful views across the landscape. As the weather turns colder and the leaves begin to fall, the shower of leaves is the final spectacular event of autumn. Eighty percent of leaves remain on the trees.
