North Carolina About To See It’s Brightest Fall Colors in Decades

North Carolina’s 2020 fall colors are expected to be the brightest and most beautiful in decades.

According to NOAA, the North Carolina mountains have experienced one of their warmest and wettest years on record, both of which add to the brightest of fall colors in the tree tops.
