Whats the ideal summer weather for colorful leaves in the fall?

By late summer and early fall, warm, sunny days followed by cool but frostless nights will produce the most vibrant color. Heavy wind and rain during the fall tends to knock the leaves off the trees, cutting the display short. Wonder why leaves change color? Find out on this USA TODAY resource page.
