A horticulture expert says Connecticut could have a perfect fall foliage. Unless it rains.
Jeff Ward, chief scientist of Forestry and Horticulture for the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, says the leaves look pretty good so far. He says there's been enough rain to keep them healthy with potential for a "spectacular fall."
But that the colors could be dulled if it rains for several days or even if there's a steady drizzle that leeches out the color.
The fall foliage cycle is on schedule in Connecticut with October the month for leaf-peeping. Ward says the first week of October is peak for northwest Connecticut, the second week for the central area and the third week for the shoreline.

Skies are partly cloudy and temperatures are refreshing early this morning. They range from 52 degrees in Orange to 55 in Redding to 60 in Stamford and 62 in Bridgeport.Another dry day is expected, but clouds will be on the increase during the afternoon. An area of low pressure will move off to the southeast Monday night into Tuesday. However, it appears as though it will remain far enough to our southeast that it will only graze the area with a shower or two.After another dry day Wednesday, a cold front will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will fall from the upper 70s Thursday and Friday to the lower 70s Saturday as an Autumn-like airmass will move in for next weekend.Paul
