The weather, currently.
Another rainy and cool day
“Don’t you just love New York in the Fall?” Not yet I don’t, Joe Fox. It’s been a whirlwind mix of chilly rain and disorienting humidity. The kind of air where you feel damp and cold at the same time. I want the crisp blue-skied autumn! But, it looks like we’ll have to wait another day or two for that. Wet and breezy conditions continue on Monday. A steady rain becomes more shower-y by late in the day. It will be cool with temperatures struggling to make it into the mid 60s. I’m definitely going to grab a light jacket before leaving the house. Aside from a few lingering showers on Tuesday, the majority of the week is looking sunnier with highs hovering around 70°F. We can do this!

What you need to know, currently.
Fall is here, and so far the trees are not disappointing this year.
My new favorite fall leaf-peeping guide is Explore Fall, which daily auto-generates a 7-day forecasted fall-colors map on almost a neighborhood scale based on weather, soil moisture, sunlight, and citizen science observations for the entire lower 48 states (sorry, no Canada yet).
Here in Minnesota, I tested out the algorithm on a few hikes this weekend and the leaves were stellar. It’s that time of year where the leaves seem to change almost hour-by-hour, so if you have a chance to get out there, don’t miss it.
It's giving fall in Colorado #FirstDayOfFall
