Around Conecuh National Forest Covington County holds most of the forest and is still green today. Escambia County, to the west, is 1 day behind.

That’s 4 days later than our model alone would say. This September has been running warm, which shifts peak color.

What turns, and when

Also named across Alabama, outside what the canopy read measures here: Tulip Poplar, Hickory, White Oak.

Sweetgums produce a kaleidoscope of purple, red, and orange on individual trees, while hickories and oaks turn the ridges of the Appalachian foothills gold and bronze.

Across Alabama as a whole: Late October through mid-November in the north, late November in central Alabama.

This forecast is built from the species that stand here, their elevation and this September’s weather, and corrected in season by cameras, foresters and our own crew. We score it here against 7 long-running forest cameras: two dates in three land within 13 days of the camera’s own peak. How this map is made
