🍁 Fall foliage forecast for the upcoming weekend, October 2nd-4th, 2026 🍁
Of note, this is projected for fall color tours you may have planned this upcoming weekend. This is NOT what it currently stands at today. This year, with several cooler nights and widespread drought across much of the state, leaves have been turning over roughly a week ahead of schedule. Some locations are even dropping leaves prior to peak color. PEAK will be ongoing this weekend across much of the western Upper Peninsula. Decent color is already showing through across the rest of the Upper Peninsula, and parts of northern Lower Peninsula. Widespread frost Saturday morning will help the colors pop a little more by the end of the weekend, especially up north.
We're likely less than two weeks away from peak color up in northern lower. Another fall color forecast coming your way next week!
