This guy is a Democrat? Sounds like a GOP plant – recruited by Tr*mp's team to mess with the Democratic Party.

That is several days earlier than CWG's prediction of April 3 to 7.

Two local TV weather teams have also weighed in. Their forecasts β€” along with ours β€” are summarized in the graphic below.

Analysis | It’s been so cold that cherry blossom peak may push to latest date in years Capital Weather Gang predicts peak bloom of D.C.’s famed Yoshino trees between April 3 and 7.

Our cherry blossom peak bloom forecast is out!

We're calling for the blossoms to reach their peak April 3-7 -- the latest peak since at least 2018.

The cool weather has slowed down the beginning of the bud cycle.

Just realized that this is probably the "peace" summit Tr*mp is hosting – before declaring war on Iran. #irony

Hey @popville.bsky.social - Does anyone know what's going on over by the State Department? 23rd St. has been closed down for the last hour – and that's an important artery, coming into the city.

Afternoon temperature map in the northeast. Much of Virginia is mild to warm but it becomes cooler around DC.

Ice coverage was down to 3 percent in today's analysis from nearly 35 percent 9 days ago.

Ice coverage was down to 3 percent in today's analysis from nearly 35 percent 9 days ago.

Ice and snow continue to dwindle but cold air hard to scour thanks to light wind, cold ground and water, plus our position next to the mountains.

Models showed highs around 60 today but that stayed just south overall. Cold water keeping places like DC and Annapolis chillier than others west.
