Christy Rollinson from the Morton Arboretum in Lisle joined ABC7 Chicago Thursday to talk about how the weather is impacting fall colors.
Rollinson said the lack of rain is causing some leaves to change early.

Maple trees also typically change color early, she said.
Birch trees can be drought-sensitive, as well.
Rollinson said the Fall Festival is soon coming to the arboretum, and there is a Dog Admission Day Nov. 3.
And she added that the cicadas did not appear to have a major impact on the trees there.
