The leaves changing colors in the fall months are among the most enjoyable parts of autumn for many.

The National Weather Service in Lincoln has an update on when we can start to see a pronounced change in the colors. Ed Shimon indicates the peak of the changes is about this time of the year. But....

According to Shimon, when there's a little more moisture, the leaves tend to have more vibrant colors.

Shimon indicates drought monitors towards the eastern side of the state have improved but drought could be lurking as we head towards the winter.
