But what if the spots you want to visit are just too crowded right now — or you want to strike out and discover your own havens for fall foliage?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that’s you, Latino Outdoors founder José González has two big recommendations: think about the types of trees that are likely to deliver you a riot of beautiful autumnal color, then consider locations in which you could see them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11842421\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11842421 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/jose-selfie.png\" alt=\"A smiling man wearing sunglasses squats in fallen leaves.\" width=\"1900\" height=\"2906\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/jose-selfie.png 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/jose-selfie-800x1224.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/jose-selfie-1020x1560.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/jose-selfie-160x245.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/jose-selfie-1004x1536.png 1004w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/jose-selfie-1339x2048.png 1339w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">José González from Latino Outdoors \u003ccite>(José González)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To start with the trees themselves, ginkgos are a great bet for colorful branches, González says, and they can be found in many neighborhoods. “Their yellow pop, much like aspens in the Sierra, are noticeable,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for locations, for a variety of non-native trees your best options might be in arboretums and on college campuses, González advises. But you might also consider trying to find them in particular neighborhoods within your city, “if you’re up for a fun urban hike.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Otherwise, you need to look for locations that provide variability like riparian zones [like creeks], and that experience temperature variation, like an actual winter,” González says — so think: gains in elevation. This, he says, is why he likes to take a look at what the Bay Area Ridge Trail offers in terms of foliage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if it’s safe to visit wine country, i.e. wildfire isn’t a current threat? González reminds you that several vineyards can really “pop with color” at this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"map\">\u003c/a>Fall foliage around California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.californiafallcolor.com/\">California Fall Color \u003c/a>project (which bears the tagline “Dude, autumn happens here too”) offers not only peak foliage dates and photos online, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.californiafallcolor.com/map/\">a crowdsourced California Fall Color map\u003c/a> that shows the spots where fall foliage can be glimpsed \u003cem>right\u003c/em> \u003cem>now \u003c/em>— and where it’s about to peak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take a look:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ciframe\n src='https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=12FSQxbVe9CedswOvJaWaeI5vvYU&w=800&h=600'\n title='https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=12FSQxbVe9CedswOvJaWaeI5vvYU&w=800&h=600'\n width='800'\n height='600'\n scrolling='no'\n frameborder='no'>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been updated for 2021.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Friday, the index stood at 90.2, and, with more wet weather certain to visit the North State, that number will continue to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve seen lots of references to the index this season, though no explanation of what it actually represents. Is it a simple mean of the eight stations? Or is there some sort of algebraic voodoo thrown in to flummox D students?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doug Carlson, a DWR spokesman, answered the question this way: “Every day, the accumulated precipitation among the stations is totaled up, and then divided by eight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OK, then: a simple average reflecting the rainfall (and water content of snowfall) at the eight stations for the current water year, which begins on Oct. 1 and runs through Sept. 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next question: What stations are involved and why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The eight sites are scattered across the Sacramento, Feather and American river watersheds. They’re generally very, very rainy-snowy spots compared to what we’re used to in most of the Bay Area. Brush Creek, northeast of Oroville, is one of the Feather basin sites. It has recorded a mind-boggling 121 inches of precipitation since last Oct. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The watersheds themselves are tracked because it was recognized when the index was created in 1920 that rainfall they were the sources of an abundant water supply. In later decades, they became the key basins for the federal Central Valley Project and the State Water Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are the eight sites the Department of Water Resources uses in the Northern Sierra eight-station index.

On Friday, it was up to 90.2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the all-time high — for now. But with the prospect of more rain on the way, the index is certain to keep rising. Models show a chance for three weakish storms to hit Northern California over the next 10 days, and the region has a shot at more rain and snow through at least the end of May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re wondering about the extent of the very heavy precipitation reflected in the eight-station index, well, so were we.

Those watersheds feed about half of California’s largest reservoirs and are key to the state’s annual water supply. The index, which \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/precip1/8STATIONHIST\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">goes back to 1921\u003c/a>, covers the rainy season from Oct. 1 to the following Sept. 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4>The Eight Stations\u003cbr>\nin the Eight-Station Index\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The eight sites the Department of Water Resources uses in its Northern Sierra eight-station index are scattered across the Sacramento, Feather and American river watersheds (see sidebar). Those basins are the source of most of the water captured by the Central Valley Project and State Water Project and are key to the state’s annual water supply. The index itself is the average of the total precipitation for the current water year recorded at the eight stations. The eight stations and their approximate daily precipitation totals — in some cases, the index uses gauges whose readings are not online or are not up to date — are below.

On Friday, it was up to 90.2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the all-time high — for now. But with the prospect of more rain on the way, the index is certain to keep rising. Models show a chance for three weakish storms to hit Northern California over the next 10 days, and the region has a shot at more rain and snow through at least the end of May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re wondering about the extent of the very heavy precipitation reflected in the eight-station index, well, so were we. A check of the California-Nevada River Forecast Center’s running total of water-year precipitation shows 37 sites, almost all in Northern California, with 100 inches or more of rain and snow since Oct. 1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water-year leader so far is a place called Four Trees in the Feather River basin: 152 inches and counting. Venado, the hillside location west of Healdsburg in northern Sonoma County, comes in with a paltry 148.3 inches. Ben Lomond, a reliably rainy location in the Santa Cruz Mountains, has about 110.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several other indices of seasonal precipitation are far above average for this time of year if not in record territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/precipapp/get5SIPrecipIndex.action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five-station San Joaquin index\u003c/a>, which records precipitation in the Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced and San Joaquin, stands at 68.2 inches and 194 percent above average. The 1982-83 record is 77.4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/precipapp/get6SIPrecipIndex.action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">six-station index in the Tulare Basin\u003c/a>, which includes the Kings, Kaweah, Tule and Kern river basins, is 45 inches, 178 percent of normal and about 150 percent of average for the entire water year. The record, 56.3, was set in 1968-69.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s mountain snowpack, which as a rule of thumb stores about one-third of the water the state uses in an “average” year, is far above normal, too. On Thursday, snow water content was 154 percent of its April 1 average in the northern Coast Ranges and Sierra, 180 percent in the central Sierra and 164 percent in the southern Sierra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1982-83 El Niño season set the snowpack record, with well over 200 percent of April 1 snowfall being recorded throughout the range.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
