Drought conditions affect the life cycle of trees, making their leaves turn earlier and quicker.
Leaves' pigment can be degraded as they fall short of their typical colors amid dry conditions.
According to AccuWeather.com, this year's vibrant colors will appear across most of the Northeast, Great Lakes and in the mid-Mississippi Valley, compared with the 2021 fall foliage season.
