StormTeam 5 released an updated live map on September 21, 2026 that charts the progression of autumn foliage across the New England region. The map shows which areas are currently displaying peak colors as the season moves forward, offering a real‑time visual guide for residents and travelers.
The online tool tracks color changes by integrating observations from a network of contributors and satellite data. As leaves transition from green to the reds, oranges, and yellows typical of the season, the map refreshes to highlight zones where the transformation is most advanced. Users can zoom in on individual states or counties to see localized color conditions.
By providing a continuously refreshed view, the map aims to help people plan outings, drives, and photography trips that coincide with the most vibrant displays. The timing of the release corresponds with the early to mid‑stage of New England’s foliage period, when many locations are just beginning to reach their color peak.
StormTeam 5’s initiative adds to the suite of seasonal resources that monitor environmental changes in the region. The live map is accessible through the organization’s website and is intended to serve as a practical reference for anyone interested in tracking the natural progression of fall colors throughout New England this year.
