Fall color continues to slowly progress in the region. In the higher elevations in northeastern West Virginia and extreme western Maryland, the first reports of high color (61% - 80% change) have arrived. In that area, the foliage season is a bit ahead of schedule.

Here are some of the places to visit now for great foliage displays.

West Virginia - Much of Tucker County including Thomas, WV (along U.S. Route 219).

Maryland - The exteme southwest corner of the western panhandle. U.S. Route 219.

Leaf drop is mostly very low.
