When will fall colors peak in Kentucky?

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - Crisp autumn air has finally made it to south-central Kentucky, as we officially begin the fall season. With cooler temperatures setting in, many might be wondering when the leaves will change into those vibrant autumn colors.

The colors really start to make a statement over the coming weeks:

• Mid-to-late October: Leaves begin a noticeable color transition.
• Peak timing (late October – early November): The brightest and most vibrate colors are expected right around Halloween.

While portions of New England and the Rocky Mountain West are already enjoying some more vibrant colors, local foliage is still in its early stages. Keep an eye on neighborhood trees as cooler days and crisp nights accelerate the transformation over the next few weeks.
