2020 Washington DC Cherry Blossoms

Welcome to the 2020 DC Cherry Blossom Watch! It’s a cold and crisp morning, a sharp break from the warm and rainy weather we’ve had lately.

The cherry blossoms are still looking pretty, especially from a distance, but up close it’s becoming easier to tell that they’re past their prime. There are fewer petals on the trees, more petals on the ground, and more green leaves sprouting.

The cherry blossoms are still looking lovely. They didn’t get through yesterday’s rain entirely unscathed–it did knock some petals off, and you can see plenty of cherry blossom “snow” on the ground. But from a distance it’s hard to tell.

The rain we’ve been seeing today so far has only made a small dent, but it is making a dent.

The cherry blossoms are still looking great, and while some of them are starting to look a bit fragile, very few petals have been blown off so far.

Light rain showers yesterday through the late afternoon and evening had no real effect on the trees, and they’re going strong and looking wonderful.
