Trying to decide if this is the perfect weekend for that fall weekend getaway? Here's a helpful resource to help you decide.

Every Wednesday afternoon this month, New York State is releasing a Fall Foliage Report detailing the current state of changing leaves across New York. The weekly guide breaks down the state into color-coded regions ranging from "No Change" to "Past Peak." It also includes information on what foliage sightseers can expect to see in each area over the weekend.

This week, the Adirondacks, Catskills, Central New York and Greater Niagara regions are experiencing peak colors. In New York City, color change is only at about 5 percent, while Long Island is seeing a 10 percent change. You can see the full map below.

The data is gathered by first-hand reports from industrious leaf observers all over the state, which sounds like a pretty interesting job to tell someone you have at a bar. For more information, you can check out the full report here which is updated weekly.
