Against the ranking we published for the weekend of Saturday, November 7. A place counts as in its window when we’d send you there on those dates, a wider group than the ones at peak, and a region counts as moved when more than one place changed or it crossed into peak.

  • Rocky Mountains is past peak. It was at peak last weekend and isn't now. 5 places inside their window now, down from 15.
  • Desert Southwest is fading. Still at peak, in fewer places. 9 places inside their window now, down from 58.
  • California is past peak. It was at peak last weekend and isn't now. 9 places inside their window now, down from 59.
  • Southeast Appalachia is fading. Still at peak, in fewer places. 72 places inside their window now, down from 103.
  • Southern Plains is fading. Still at peak, in fewer places. 28 places inside their window now, down from 43.
  • Central Midwest is past peak. It was at peak last weekend and isn't now. Nothing inside its window now, against 32 last weekend.
  • Gulf South is spreading. Still at peak, and more of it. 137 places inside their window now, up from 74.
  • Ohio Valley is past peak. It was at peak last weekend and isn't now. 1 place inside its window now, down from 8.
  • Mid-Atlantic is past peak. It was at peak last weekend and isn't now. 1 place inside its window now, down from 17.
