Fall Foliage Forecast: Less Color, Earlier Peak | Columbia News

This year’s fall colors might be quieter and arrive sooner than usual, especially in drought-stricken areas where stressed trees produce less vibrant hues. Peak color could shift to mid-October in some regions, with Southern Appalachians and parts of South Carolina still offering reliable, if milder, displays—particularly in high-elevation parks featuring maples and tulip poplars. While forecasts vary, Mother Nature remains the ultimate wildcard, so don’t count out a stunning show—just maybe not as fiery as last year’s.
