The fall color in Kansas will most likely not be as good as some years, due to the lack of rainfall. Some of the best fall foliage in our area will likely be in northern Kansas where the rainfall has been a little heavier. This map shows what time of the year certain areas reach their peak fall color, with cooler climates typically reaching the peak earlier in the season.
Autumn begins on Friday at 4:05 a.m. That's when the sun will be directly overhead at the equator, so we'll actually have an equal amount of daylight and nighttime (equinox = equal day and equal night). We are already starting to see changes going on in the atmosphere, with colder air developing in the Northern Provinces of Canada.
September is going to close on a dry note, which shouldn't be a surprise with the way things have been going. We can always hope October brings more moisture to our area, but it's not one of our wetter months here in Kansas.
