New Jersey autumn foliage outlook

Overview

Experts predict a vibrant fall foliage season in New Jersey, with conditions expected to surpass the previous year. According to Jason Grabosky, an ecology professor at Rutgers University, sunny days, mild temperatures, and cool nights are likely to facilitate bright colors, though he cautioned that heavy rainfall could prematurely knock leaves from trees.

Peak foliage is projected to begin around October 20 in North Jersey, moving south to reach South Jersey by early November. The quality of the colors will depend on daylength, heat, and soil conditions.
