Central Maine Weather

   The fall foliage season in Maine begins during the first week of September. Color begins to make its first true appearance in far Northern Maine and in the Western Maine Mountains during that time, and gradually sinks southward with each passing day. Peak foliage for the majority of the state occurs between the last week of September through the second week of October. 

   Peak foliage here in Western Kennebec County (West-Central part of Zone 3 on map above) normally occurs between the 5th and 15th of October. The map above will continually update twice each week (Monday's and Thursday's) as Forest and Park rangers and state Forest Pathologists across New England continue to send updates in.
