DES MOINES, Iowa -- The red, orange, and yellow hues of fall are delayed for Iowa this year, but the Department of Natural Resources has an estimate for when the new peak weeks are this fall.

With perfect conditions, the Iowa DNR lists the following for usual peak weeks in the state: • Northern Iowa: last week of September to second week of October • Central Iowa: first through third weeks in October • Southern Iowa: second through fourth weeks in October

Chip Murrow, the Urban Forestry Program Specialist for the department, said Iowa is roughly one week behind this schedule.
