Cherry Blossom Updates - Monday April 2nd

All this week, Urban Atlas will be giving daily updates of the status of the Cherry Blossoms, as well as some of the day's pictures.

Today's (April 2) Cherry Blossom Photos 

Today wasn't the prettiest day, cold and cloudy, but there are plenty of Cherry Blossoms to see already, and the weather is looking to improve later in the week.

Cherry Blossom Updates

The peak blossom is forecast to be on the move again - forward this time - both NPS and the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang are forecasting peak bloom to be this weekend.

It's no April Fool! Cherry blossoms have advanced to stage 5 - puffy white. Next stop is peak bloom, expected by the end of the week given the continued mild forecast. Plenty to see now - weeping cherries in full bloom, 20% of Yoshinos at peak. #BloomWatch #CherryBlossomDC pic.twitter.com/hofcwIhR22

The cherry blossoms are closing in on peak bloom this week. We wish the weather was a *little* warmer but Wednesday evening and Thursday should be nice for a trip to the Tidal Basin! https://t.co/5kkkcGRf0C
