PEAK FALL FOLIAGE: I don’t think I’ll ever be the same after seeing what I saw yesterday. After work I ran down to Skyline Drive in central Utah to check on the colors, and I really didn’t know what to expect honestly. We haven’t had many updates out of the area this year. I popped out of the top of Fairview Canyon and the mountain was just exploding with color! As I kept driving toward Cleveland reservoir it occurred to me that this type of color was some of the best I’ve ever seen, and I’ve done a lot of leaf peeping!

I honestly struggle to put into words the beauty I saw as that autumn sun pour light into these mountain trees. My heart was racing and my eyes were over stimulated with color that didn’t seem natural at times. At moments I was just silent with the crickets singing, the soft wind swaying the leaves, and for a second I forgot about everything. It was so peaceful.

On that note, I’d encourage you to take advantage of the peak fall foliage this weekend! Next weekend will still have color, but the best of it is probably this weekend into early next week!

MILLCREEK CANYON: I had the chance to hike 5 miles worth of the Pipeline trail in Millcreek Canyon 2 days ago. Color is good toward the top of the canyon and a little more dull toward the base. Lots of maples turning in the area, love the reds and oranges! 🍁🟡 🟠 🔴 🟤

So... today is supposed to be the first day of Fall, right? Not in the Uinta Mountains! At 1:20PM we jumped straight to winter at 10,759 FT, a not so subtle reminder of what's to come.

BREAKING: The official ruling is in. The San Juan County tornado on Septemer 13th was an EF-2! Exactly what we were speculating before official assessments were in! That thing was on the ground for 47 minutes, that’s incredibly impressive for Utah standards! That’s Midwest stuff right there, not Utah. 🌪️

FALL FOLIAGE UPDATE: This is it people! The best color of the season is now starting to show up simultaneously across the Utah mountains. The next 14 days will be the best to see your favorite mountain routes, with the exception of leftover color into mid-October for some. Our recent cold fronts have helped to jump start the aspens at higher elevations and the maples are turning in bulk.

You'll notice in graphics that some locations are progressing much faster than others, I'd keep a close eye on your favorite spots this week and next week as the switchover is now in place. I'll continue to provide updates on KSL TV, my facebook and Instagram . Don't miss a leaf this year! 🍁🍂

HAPPY FALL EQUINOX: I’m pleased to report this first day of Fall, that we are now entering the best 2 weeks of color in Utah. Forecast is still on track, so peak fall foliage will be upon us this weekend and next weekend! That goes for northern, central and southern Utah! I’ll have an official conditions report out SOON!!! 🍁

SUNDAY HAIL STORM: Radar around 2:40pm was looking serious over White City and Sandy, UT. Lo and behold, an absolute deluge of hail and rain slammed the south end of the Salt Lake Valley! You can even see the stark difference in visibility between the hail core and clear air. WOW!
