Fall Foliage Local Report

By Weather WKTV

Updated  Thursday, October 11th, 2012

The fall foliage season is winding down in some areas, but you can still see some amazing color in CNY.  The place to do it is the Mohawk Valley this weekend, especially east of Utica, where peak color will be developing.  The Eastern Adirondacks and Catskills will also see peak color this weekend in the lower elevations. 

Color is also coming out west of Utica, especially near the Syracuse and Albany area, where leaves will be approaching peak by mid to late October.

Leaves are past peak in the Western Adirondacks and High peaks region, along with the highest elevations north and south of the Mohawk Valley.

Here's a look at the fall foliage map:
