Here’s the Massachusetts fall weather and foliage forecast

Massachusetts may see above-average temperatures during September, October and November, according to the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center, which released its fall temperature forecast on Thursday.

There is a 60 to 75% chance that seasonal temperatures in Eastern and Central Massachusetts will be above normal, according to the outlook. Parts of Western Massachusetts, notably Berkshire County, have a 50 to 60% chance of seeing above-average temperatures.

The outlook for precipitation in Massachusetts indicates an equal chance of above or below average rainfall during the fall months.

Fall in New England is known for its colorful foliage.

Explore Fall, a website dedicated to fall foliage, predicts northern New England will start seeing the rich leaf colors by Oct. 10.

In Massachusetts, the bright colors are expected to come a little later — around Oct. 18, with a full peak being closer to Oct. 28.

By Nov. 13, the leaf viewing season will be over.

Farmer’s Almanac, however, predicts that a majority of New England will be at or near peak fall color by Oct. 11.

At around Oct. 20, Massachusetts is expected to be at its peak, but the Bay State may see some changes in the leaves in September.
