October 16, 2025 2025 Fall Foliage: Report for October 16-22 Some chilly nights last week helped more colors develop throughout Pennsylvania forests. With morning lows for the next few days expected to be consistently in the 30s and 40s, that trend should accelerate. For much of the Commonwealth, recent rain has also helped keep some leaves on trees while helping them to shed some brown, increasing the quality of colors. Peak fall color will be seen in a major portion of Pennsylvania this week, and this could be the finest week for color overall in Penn’s Woods this year. Don’t miss it!
