Around Angelina National Forest San Augustine County holds most of the forest and is still green today. Angelina County, to the west, is 1 day behind. Jasper County, to the southeast, is 2 days behind.
That’s 4 days later than our model alone would say. This September has been running warm, which shifts peak color.
Set the days you can be here. Everything under them answers for those days, not for peak.

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
