BOSTON - This will be one of the better weekends of the fall for foliage viewing across southern and central New England.

If you head west down the Mass Pike or Route 2, you will find increasingly more and more color. Some areas in Worcester county and western Massachusetts will be at peak in the next few days.

Another great road trip this weekend would be north toward the Lakes Region. Colors will be near peak around Sebago Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee.

Again, this is NOT a banner year for foliage in New England so temper your expectations a bit. Many of the trees are going right from green to brown. But, if you are patient and put in the time, no doubt, you will find some very nice splashes of color.

Temperatures on both days will range in the low 60s, mid to upper 50s once you get out of eastern Mass. and into the higher elevations.

Sunday will be the sunnier of the two days.
