Foliage in D.C. this week;Color Changes?
 

I have a chance to go to Washington, D.C. this Wed. through Sunday.

Just wondering how much, if at all, the leaves have changed into the lovely fall colors?

I am checking on other sites, but I cannot find anything for this year, this month, this week specifically. Thank you all.

Everything is still pretty green here and I wouldn't expect to see much of a change within the next week. But the weather is supposed to be almost perfect for the next week or so--partly sunny or sunny each day with highs in the low-to-mid 70's and lows around 60. It would be a great time for you to visit!

longhorn is right, no color this week, but it is supposed to be beautiful.

If you come, enjoy!

as above...a few trees now slightly turning...I see them out of my office window but come on....should be hopefully non-humid weather

Usually peak color in the city is at the end of October. The zoo, Rock Creek Park, and Embassy Row are beautiful then.

Sorry, the trip is for this coming Wed., Oct. 15..will the colors be any better? :-)

You might - or you might not. But you should have beautiful weather for your time in DC

Cira--I actually thought of you today because I drove through Rock Creek and a couple of maples have turned, but it is mostly green and very dry; we are supposed to have beautiful weather next week, but more summer-like than fall.

As noted above, our leaves don't really change until Halloween.

Every now and then as I drive about the DC area I see glimpses of red, yellow or gold, but mostlly still green. Wonderful time of the year though.
