The West Virginia Division of Forestry put out its first fall foliage report on Thursday. And there are already some areas of the state where you can see a colorful display.

"In the higher elevations of the state, especially in Preston and Tucker counties, we are seeing some really good color. Right now it's about 75," said Leslie Fitzwater of the Division of Forestry.

She says the leaves are turning a little bit earlier than normal because of our weather pattern this summer. "Because of all the rain that we've had during the spring and summer, we have a lot of leaves on the trees,” Fitzwater said. “So that means an even better chance of seeing more colors."         

Where should you look next for the brightest leaves? Next weekend the peak will hit the Dolly Sods area of Grant County and the North Mountain and Spruce Mountain areas of Pendleton County. Soon after that, Greenbrier, Fayette and Raleigh counties will hit full peak.

Fitzwater says people from all over the country have called her office asking for the best time to look at the leaves. Her first fall foliage call came way back in March.

"I had a lady that was trying to plan a wedding in October and she wanted to know when the foliage was going to be at its peak,” she said.

It was a little hard for Fitzwater to predict that far out. But she says now that fall has arrived, you can get weekly updates on the web by long onto the Division of Forestry's Internet site at wvforestry.com and look for the fall foliage page. It's updated every Thursday.
