According to the map, it looks like this year, the week of October 11th will be the prime time for leaf-peeping.
Of course, no prediction can be 100% accurate, but the folks who generate the map use several factors such as elevation, average daylight exposure, NOAA precipitation forecasts, and historical precipitation to create the best possible estimate.
No two seasons of fall are the same, but there are some factors that are consistent throughout the years. One of them is location. Northern Ohio will experience the fall foliage peak at least a week before southern Ohio will.
This year, it looks as though the prime colors will have faded by November 1st, so be sure to plan all of your autumn adventures while there's still plenty of time!
