Do you have somewhere to go this fall? Would you like to use the excuse of seeing the fall colors to take a weekend getaway? You can plan that trip around the 2024 Fall Foliage Prediction Map from the folks at SmokyMountains.com, who would like you to visit Gatlinburg, Tennessee. But the opportunity is there for any place in the US, or at least the 48 contiguous states, for a leaf-peeping trip if you time it right. I will be traveling for a grandchild's arrival, and I'm delighted to see that the scenery will be lovely during my long drive.
The entire map is green now, but you can use the slider underneath to see which areas will be at peak color during the months ahead. The image above shows the map for the week of October 7th. By that time, the people in New England will be inundated by the annual migration of leaf-peeping tourists, but will be glad they brought their money. My hometown will not peak until November 4th. You may see a startling amount of green right in the middle of autumn, but that doesn't really mean green. Green means "no change," so I believe the late autumn green means no change from the week before. Eventually, even Florida will see some fall colors. -Thanks, Brittany!

Thankfully her father moved back in to the home and basically forced his almost 60yo child to clean up the house.
It's infuriating trying to deal with all of the mess, but she's not a bad person. Just stubborn and in denial.
