Currently in Boston — September 25, 2023: Damp weather for the start of the new week
Plus, my new favorite auto-updating fall colors map.
The weather, currently.

Cloudy with showers possible
Clouds are going to dominate into the middle of the week. It looks as though showers will be in the forecast Monday and Tuesday although neither day will produce a lot of rain. Temperatures will be below average mainly in the lower 60s.
There might be some sunshine Tuesday afternoon but in general we will have to wait until Wednesday for the clearing to take place. At that point temperatures will start to moderate and readings will reach the 65 to 70° range.
The dry weather could continue into the weekend. Tropical activity becomes less of a factor this time of the year but until we are into the middle of October the risk is still present.
What you need to know, currently.
Fall is here, and so far the trees are not disappointing this year.
My new favorite fall leaf-peeping guide is Explore Fall, which daily auto-generates a 7-day forecasted fall-colors map on almost a neighborhood scale based on weather, soil moisture, sunlight, and citizen science observations for the entire lower 48 states (sorry, no Canada yet).
Here in Minnesota, I tested out the algorithm on a few hikes this weekend and the leaves were stellar. It’s that time of year where the leaves seem to change almost hour-by-hour, so if you have a chance to get out there, don’t miss it.
It's giving fall in Colorado #FirstDayOfFall
