NOAA Satellites Predict Peak Fall Foliage this Week

Scientists at NOAA’s Center for Satellite Applications & Research (STAR) have found a new way to monitor fall foliage using visible satellite imagery. The new vegetation index is released every three days and this product can even be used to forecast future fall foliage. In the latest foliage forecast, NOAA believes areas of southern Kentucky will see peak fall foliage this Friday.

Hopefully we can avoid any gusty surface winds with the passage of the cold front today as high winds could bring a lot of the leaves down and hurt our fall foliage display here in Kentucky.
