Fall Onset Brings Temperature Drops, Seasonal Changes Across US Regions

Fall is arriving across various regions in the U.S., each with distinct local signs and weather changes. In El Paso, fall is marked by unique cultural traditions such as roasting green chile alongside pumpkins, Abuelita hot chocolate season, and the appearance of Spirit Halloween stores, despite the lingering heat. Louisiana is experiencing its first taste of fall with cooler low temperatures in the 60s and reduced humidity, though afternoon heat remains. In Montana, fall brings unpredictable weather shifts, increased outdoor hunting activity, and a surge in football season enthusiasm, alongside notable wildlife behavior and intensifying natural beauty. Meanwhile, in the Chicago area, the changing leaf colors signal trees entering dormancy, with the intensity of fall foliage dependent on weather conditions and tree species. California is also seeing a mild fall onset with cooler, breezier weather and a slight chance of showers expected soon.
