Are the leaves turning colors where you are?

They're not turning here where i'm at (South Central Kentucky). And the one's that have turned colors are turning brown from lack of rain which means they are just dead. Just wondering if everyone else is seeing the pretty bright reds, oranges and yellows of fall colors?

yes, ours are turning and falling off but I live in Minnesota so it's right on time here

Most of the trees here in Calgary are naked already.

I'd say that the trees are about 50% changed here in Southern Ontario.
There's a few trees that are brillant red from top to bottom, but the ones going orange to yellow are not quite turned yet.
As the nights get colder, we should have a spectacular fall display this year, as long as we don't get too many high winds stripping the leaves off.

I love the fall displays and often travel to the 'near north' to photograph them, all the while keeping my ears open to the shrieks of the Windigo.

Ya'll are so lucky! I love fall. It's my favorite time of year and instead of being fall like outside it's hot, muggy and brown! Uggggh! Glad to know everyone else is moving along right on time! Maybe it will rain soon and i'll begin to see some pretty colors. But, they're predicting above average temps for some time. Who'da thunk it?

WAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! No fall for me!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's the forecast for the next week! The leaves will never change like this.

NOW...hear the WBKO First Alert Forecast on your radio when you listen to Oldies 105.3 WOVO, 103.7 The Point or Star 100.7 FM


THURSDAY EVENING UPDATE:

A fair amount of sun should grace our skies today, allowing for temperatures to reach the mid and upper 70s another time. Then on Saturday morning, a weak cold front slips through the region providing no big changes other than a slightly cooler, more refreshing fall-like air mass for the weekend. Even with the small change in temperatures, readings will likely remain a tad above normals for this time of year. There's still not a drop of rain in sight, at least for the next week.

WASHINGTON


Worldwide, it was the warmest September on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Friday.

Averaging 1.13 degrees Fahrenheit (0.63 degree Celsius) above normal for the month, it was the warmest September since the beginning of reliable records in 1880, according to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.

The second warmest September was in 2003 with an average temperature of 1.02 degrees Fahrenheit (0.57 Celsius) above the mean.

For the United States it was the fourth warmest September on record.

The average U.S. temperature for the month was 2.6 degrees (1.4 C) above average.

Only the West Coast and parts of the Rockies were near normal. Louisiana had its warmest September in 111 years of national records and an additional 27 states ranked much above average.

Some cities also set new records for warmest average September temperatures including: Houston-Galveston, Texas; London, Ky.; Shreveport, La.; and Raleigh-Durham, N.C.

For the month, rain and snowfall across the country were below average, with unusually dry conditions for much of the East Coast and parts of the Plains and Northwest. Georgia, South Carolina and Maryland had their driest September on record.

You might be interested in this ATSNN article I posted earlier this year.
2005 To Be The Hottest Year To Date.

Is there a connection to your observation of your local trees? To the major flooding this year? To the fierce hurricane season? To the rapid melting of the Arctic?

I believe so, but there are forces out there that will spend millions to convince you otherwise.

This probably explains why i've seen a distinct lack in birds in the area as well. It's probably all related. Their isn't any food for them here and this is probably why. Too dry.

I think the "Fall Review" is mostly over for the far mountains. Along the Front Range there is still some color but the recent storm was so windy most of the leaves were blown away. Here's a site with a few nice views of recent displays of aspen in the mountains.

Changed colour and starting to fall off here in Belfast. Right on time! .

no but im asuming shortly they will enter their jestful guise of red harmony, out here and shine their californian love

Whoa! You must live really close to me if you get WBKO! I thought I lived in the middle of nowhere!

Some trees in my backyard are changing, yes, but the natural progression of the trees does seem to be a little slow this year.

i'm in northern KY and the leaves are starting to change...but they seem to falling off earlier this year,so maybe we won't get to see the gorgeous KY hills in all the fall colors this year.

I want to throw into this that I saw a toad just 2 weeks ago. And I just have to say that Mr. Toad was out way too late in the year. It bothered me to see a toad a month after you shouldn't be seeing them anymore. I got on to him and told him to go get in a hole.

I'm not sure he listened though.

Hey Val, you're supposed to kiss them! He would have known what you meant then.

A chance at a prince and you missed it!

I'll figure this out yet!
