AccuWeather Says Missouri Will Have the Best Fall Colors

If AccuWeather is correct, the leaves in Missouri are about to get real good as they say the best Fall colors will be in parts of the Show Me State.

The first day of Fall starts with the autumnal equinox on Monday, September 22. Meteorological Fall started on September 1, 2025

One of the aspects of Fall that most people look forward to the most are the bright leaves changing. AccuWeather has just revealed their exclusive forecast for what parts of the nation will see the most vibrant Fall colors this year. You'll see their map shows the northern parts of Missouri will be among the brightest this Fall.

That's awesome, but when will we begin to see the vibrant yellows and oranges in Missouri? Early to mid-October is the prime time for Fall color viewing for Missouri.

There is a potential problem with the Fall colors in parts of Missouri though

As AccuWeather mentions in their Fall forecast, areas that have been heavily impacted by drought may not see the bright leaves as much as other locations and Missouri has been hit hard by drought over the past few years, but that situation does seem to be improving.

It looks like Missouri can be optimistic when it comes to Fall colors. In just a few weeks, the colors especially closer to the rivers should be ready to explode and few places in America will rival what we'll see.
