Fall Color Report

You wouldn't think we were nearing the end of October with our high temperatures trending over ten degrees above average, but at least its looking like it outside! The fall colors in the Stateline area really starting to pop and will continue to over the next week or so.

Typically in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, peak fall colors happen around the middle to end of October, so we may just be a smidge  behind the times. This is most likely due to the stretch of dry and warm weather we've had across the Stateline in September and the begining of October. But now that the nights have been consistently crisp and cool, and the days have overall been sunny, the fall colors are really starting to show.

Currently, only a few counties in northern Wisconsin are past peak,while much of northern and central Wisconsin is at peak color. Typically, this happens more towards the begining of october.

Southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois are nearing peak colors while a little farther south of us, the fall colors are a bit more spotty.

But with sunshine and temperatures in the 70's the next several days, it will be perfect weather to take a scenic drive. Along route 2 or into Wisconsin will be just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to some of the beautiful fall colors to be seen nearby!
