Fall is in the Air and Online with
AccuWeather.com’s Fall Foliage Center.
AccuWeather.com Offers Weather Maps to Track Changing Leaves.
AccuWeather.com today announced the launch of the new
AccuWeather.com Fall Foliage Center, an online resource for “leaf
chasers,” families, and students who want to know what conditions cause
the changing leaves and where to find the most spectacular displays.
The Center is launching just in time for viewers to catch the most
spectacular displays of foliage typically seen by mid-October.
The AccuWeather.com Fall Foliage Center features up-to-date
national maps that indicate the level of leaf change by region. It also
offers a wealth of interesting and informative weather graphics and
video “explainers” that cover topics such as the effects of drought
stresses on fall color, average dates of first frosts, and changes in
air currents in the fall season. Visitors can even submit their own
favorite autumnal snapshots through the AccuWeather.com Media Center
which will feature user-contributed fall photos throughout the season.
“As The World’s Weather Authority®, we at AccuWeather.com keenly
relate to the excitement people feel about the changes of season,” Jim
Candor, AccuWeather.com’s Senior Vice President of New Media and a
professional meteorologist, said. “Dryness of the soil and position of
the sun are the two major factors that contribute to changing color, so
we may expect to see some great color related to this year’s droughts.”
The AccuWeather.com Fall Foliage Center is featured in the site’s
News Center. As the winter season approaches, also look for the
AccuWeather.com Winter Center.
