If you’re hoping to see landscapes popping with brilliant colors this fall, you won’t have to travel too far.
That’s the word from forecasters at AccuWeather, who are calling for a “vibrant” fall foliage season in southern New Jersey, northern Pennsylvania and upstate New York, and a strong foliage season elsewhere in the Garden State.
“The exact timing of when the leaves change colors is related to the weather leading up to fall, and the recent weather patterns across the United States have tipped the hand of Mother Nature,” AccuWeather noted in its fall foliage forecast for 2021.
“Last year, trees became stressed later in the summer in parts of the Northeast due to a couple of extended periods of dryness,” AccuWeather forecaster Paul Pastelok said. “As a result, there were early leaf droppings, and the brightness was OK, but not great.”
In a wide swath of the northeastern United States, this autumn is shaping up to be much better than last fall AccuWeather says. “But the changing of the leaves may not take place right on schedule.”

Mild weather could push the fall foliage peak a week or two behind the normal peak period, AccuWeather says. And some areas that got saturated with far more rain than normal this summer — like northern and central New Jersey — might not get colors that pop as brightly as the colors in places that didn’t get as much rain, like South Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania.
“For places like Vermont, New Hampshire and upstate New York, the peak of the fall foliage typically occurs in late September and the first week of October,” AccuWeather notes. “However, this year it could occur closer to the second week of October.”
For areas that got blasted by heavy rain in early September, when the remnants of Hurricane Ida brought torrential downpours and widespread flooding, the foliage will be more colorful “if the rest of September is a bit drier,” Pastelok said.
