Vibrant fall foliage can be seen along Copeland Street in Brockton, Massachusetts on Monday, Oct. 20, 2025.

November is quickly approaching, and with it comes a few more spots of orange, red, and even purple foliage for leaf-peepers to look at.

While foliage in most of the United States has already reached its peak for the season, foliage in some parts of the country is just now putting on a show for leaf-peepers, including Missouri, according to travel website www.Smokymountains.com.

Leaves are known to change color between mid-September and early November, reported the Farmer’s Almanac, which covers weather forecasts, gardening and other topics. The outlet added that cool nights, sunny days and moderate rainfall are the makings of a nice fall foliage season, while heavy rain, strong winds, or early frost can shorten the season.

Peak times for fall foliage tend to be the second and third weeks of October, but this largely depends on where people live and their state's or city's weather conditions.

Here’s the fall foliage outlook for late October through Nov. 4.

Expect vibrant colors in the midwestern and southeastern US

Despite peak season falling in early and mid-October, some states don’t see their best fall colors until late October, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.

Leaves tend to peak in areas such as the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, Buckhorn Lake State Park in Kentucky, and Vogel State Park in Georgia, the Farmer’s Almanac reported in its U.S. Leaf-Peeping Guide.

Smokymountains.com, which also has a leaf-peeping guide, reported that folks can also expect to see peak colors in parts of the midwestern U.S., including southeastern Nebraska, western and northeastern Kansas, southern Iowa, most of Missouri, western and southern Illinois, and southwestern Indiana.

Other areas where nature enthusiasts can spot peak fall foliage include northwestern Oklahoma, a small part of eastern New Mexico, central Tennessee, eastern North Carolina, central South Carolina, central Georgia, northeastern Alabama, and western California, Smokymountains.com reported.

Leaves nearing their peak can be found in southern California, southern Arizona, northern Texas, northern Kansas, northern Oklahoma, most of Arkansas, western Tennessee, northern Mississippi, northwestern Alabama, central Georgia, southern South Carolina, and eastern North Carolina.
