Experts: Fall color in N.C. could be best in years


Plan for a spectacular fall leaf season in western North Carolina. Experts in biology at Western Carolina University say 2015 could be one of the best leaf color seasons in recent memory, saying unusually dry weather is causing colors to pop. Experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) say occasional heavy rain through the growing season helped the area stay out of drought, but the drier than normal soil usually means brighter leaf colors.
