Day cited in AccuWeather report on fall foliage
Michael Day, associate research professor in the University of Maine School of Forest Resources, talked with AccuWeather for a story about how a warm fall weather could jeopardize this year’s foliage. According to the story, forecasters are predicting a warm start to fall across the Northeast, as well as dry conditions, could result in foliage that will be less dramatic than usual. Day said trees require certain cues in early autumn — including rainfall and cooler temperatures — to signal favorable foliage color change and leaf fall.
