"New York state, I think it's going to be a beautiful fall foliage site - reds and oranges, really bright, as we dry out here in September," said lead long-range meteorologist Paul Paselok.
"The weather during summer and early fall has a big impact on the vibrancy of changing autumnal leaves. Drought creates dull color palates and stressed-out trees that drop leaves early," according to AccuWeather.
"Leaf peepers should cross their fingers for sunny September days capped off by cool (but not frosty) nights - a weather pair that speeds up the breakdown of chlorophyll in leaves, leading to jewel-worthy autumn shades," warned AccuWeather.
AccuWeather reported that Upstate New York will likely display some of the Northeast's best fall foliage this year, in contrast to a typical season in New England.
