Mainly clear start, a few clouds. Some valley fog. Clouds bubbling late morning and showers, storms building first along the eastern ridges then developing west. Warm, muggy, the showers were enough to kick temps back into the upper 60s where they occured.

Monitoring the leaf drop

This is really a common site. In some areas, birch, remaining unaffected maples will have to really perform well to get good fall foliage this year. My hopes for a good foliage season is very low. Not that there won’t be color, or good areas, but in general as a whole, not very high on it. The reds at Dolly Sods, the yellow Birches in Canaan and especially Blackwater Canyon still should be a go.

Very early in the month….this year starting off night and day different vs last year. Last year on September 2nd, I did not get out of the 40s during the daylight hours, before touching 50 after nightfall.
