Peak Foliage and High Winds in Northern New England

Peak fall foliage has arrived across northern New England, with vibrant colors observed in areas such as the White Mountains in New Hampshire and the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont. However, early leaf drop is occurring in higher elevations, and the foliage is now transitioning into lower valleys. Locations like Conway, Tamworth, and the Lakes Region in New Hampshire, as well as central Vermont's Route 100 corridor, are expected to reach peak color by the upcoming holiday weekend. Meanwhile, northern Massachusetts is beginning to see early signs of fall color, though some areas are experiencing leaf drop. High winds and rain are forecasted early this week, which could impact foliage conditions. (Source time: Mon, 05 Oct 2026 18:00:00 GMT)
