New York's foliage report says that some areas are past-peak this week, while others will see peak colors. "Foliage throughout the Catskills will be mostly past-peak this weekend. In Greene County, the Town of Catskill will be at peak, with nearly complete leaf change and very brilliant orange, yellow, and red leaves," the report says. "Spotters reporting from the upper elevations of the county in Windham report that foliage is now past-peak, but some bright patches of red, yellow, orange, and purple leaves remain. Ulster County observers in New Paltz expect peak colors this weekend with 90% leaf change and a bright mix of yellow, orange, and green leaves, while spotters reporting from Belleayre Mountain Ski Area in Highmount expect conditions to be past-peak with nearly complete change and very brilliant seasonal colors. In the Hudson Valley, most of Columbia County will be at peak, with communities like Hudson featuring around 70% leaf change with bright and bold shades of orange, gold, bronze, and amber, along with some fiery reds."
