Bittinger 2nw Valley

Since the last leaf update on Saturday, a significant amount of maple leaf drop has occured, and a fair amount of birch. These colors are dropping while minimal change in the Oaks. This gives a less colorful appearance, and a bit more green noticeable with the maple drop. Birch are of a vibrant yellow, but falling. Beech is a mix of their rusty appearance and some green and some have dropped. Hickory is yellow/Brown, some drop, some pockets of greens. Cherry has pretty well dropped, typical.

Oct 8(Fri)

Clouds and fog along the eastern Alleghenies to start, some sun elsewhere. Then building clouds with localized areas of rain. Some heavy.

Bittinger 2nw Valley

A fair amount of maple leaf drop today, and some birch. The last few days has seen a pretty good maple drop that will likely continue. In these predominantly maple, birch areas, peak to just past peak is now and very close to being well past if we get some rain. What you have then is sporadic color mixed with remaining greens, browns of the oaks with most vibrant colors done for the year.

DOLLY SODS EDITION

Colors peaking across the top. The reds of the heath passing the peak mark and dropping. Maples peaking. There is some that will deepen that still show some green yet. At the same time leaf drop appears around 15%+/- with the maples and rain and wind will rapidly begin to remove leaves those as they reach peak color. Birch, Aspen are nearing the peak stage. Not overly vibrant by any stretch. Still some greens scattered. Also some leaf drop on the ones that have changed. Beech are fringed changed and in the process. Overall, across the top colors are about as good as it gets considering drop is occuring and with weather will continue to occur and rapidly so in maples. While some will yet deepen color, there will also be color loss from here out.
