Some parts of the state are seeing peak fall foliage colors, while locally it is about at midpoint with lots of green leaves still on the trees.
“Beautiful peak fall colors will continue to spread through the Adirondacks and Catskills, and are expected to arrive in some parts of the Chautauqua-Allegheny and Finger Lakes regions this weekend,” I Love NY posted on Wednesday.
A spotter in Albion reports that there is less than 15% change in Albion “with average to bright red, orange and yellow leaves.”
A spotter in Buffalo reports a 25 percent change while one in East Aurora puts it at 55 percent.
In Niagara County, there is 50 percent change in Lewiston and 25 percent transition in Niagara Falls.
In Wyoming County, Letchworth State Park is seeing 50 percent change in Castile and 60 percent change in Warsaw.
