Fall Foliage: Where Are The Colors And Why Are Leaves Changing?

I love this interactive fall foliage map service on the Weather Channel site. It organizes the nation into regions and allows you to see how the fall leaf color changes are progressing throughout each state. It even has beautiful photos of fall foliage.

You may also be interested in learning more about why the leaves change colors and how the weather affects fall colors. To put it briefly, it has a lot to do with:

shorter days and longer nights
warmer autumn days and crisp cold nights
soil moisture levels
