Fall Foliage Forecasting

Guest: Evan Fisher

As the summer season turns to cooler fall temperatures, the annual passage of time is marked by the changing of the leaves. Whether you're leaf peeping in New England or hiking to see fall colors across the Rockies, the weather will play a huge role in how those fall colors turn out and when the’ll start to turn. Joining us today is Evan Fisher, creator of ExploreFall.com, to talk about this colorful transition of seasons, and about how he’s merging science and data presentation to make a more accessible foliage forecast available.
