When Bakersville peaks
October 22–November 1
Predicted peak window, fall 2026
Bakersville sits at 2,471 feet, low enough that its color arrives after the mountains above it have already dropped. Peak color reaches 5,000 feet around October 6, 2026, then slides about 6.5 days later for every 1,000 feet it descends, which puts Bakersville about 16 days behind the 5,000 foot ridges.
September ran 2.7°F warmer than Bakersville's own normal, which moved the window 4.9 days later. Warm autumns delay the shutdown that lets the color show. Cold ones hurry it along.
A peak window is a claim about October, so it gets graded like every other forecast here. Once the leaves actually turn we score these dates against the published fall color reports and the result goes on the board, flattering or not. This is the model's first live fall, so read the window as a first attempt with its work shown, not a settled number. Every town's window, and how the model gets a date.
