Fall foliage is in full swing and if you enjoy seasonable experiences, now is the time.
Most of Connecticut will have moderate to peak fall foliage by Sunday. In the northern portion of the state, you'll see those vibrant colors in full force.
This includes areas such as Litchfield Hills, Windsor Locks, Hartford, Waterbury, Storrs, Woodstock and more.
It might take a little more time for leaf peeping in the southern portion of the state, towards the shoreline. The more inward you drive, the more of a chance you'll have to see those colorful leaves.

On average, the closer you live to Long Island Sound, the later the average timeframe for peak leaf peeping.
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) estimates that by Sunday, a large portion of the state will move to the "peak" fall foliage category.
Rainfall is only one factor that comes into play when talking about influences on the changing foliage colors. Cooler temperatures and shortening days must also be considered.
