Tracking Fall Foliage

We are just now starting to see some of the leaves begin to change colors in southern Kentucky. Elsewhere across the northern U.S., many locations are getting close to their peak foliage. Check out how we can actually see the colors of the leaves using visible satellite imagery.

The following satellite images were all taken over the past ten days:

Southern Kentucky is currently seeing green/turning foliage. We will really start to get closer to our peak once we get some more nights with low temperatures in the 30s.
