After missing the first and second expected peak bloom projections, it appears Washington’s famous crop of Yoshino cherry trees will finally hit peak bloom tomorrow. The National Park Service now estimates that at least 70 percent of the more than 3,000 trees will be in bloom tomorrow, finally giving all those seasonal tourists the gratification they came seeking.

The trees were first projected to hit peak bloom on March 26, but thanks to several weeks of abnormal weather—including a late-March snowstorm and many days of below-average temperatures—the blossom forecast was pushed back to April 3. Then, after some more cold weather, NPS delayed the peak bloom date again.

Peak bloom days are expected to run through Monday, so make sure you charge your camera before you go out in the morning.
