Lets check in alexandra limon. She is life at the tidal basin. Hey, alex. Reporter it sure is beautiful out here. Definitely scenic as these Cherry Blossoms are starting to bloom, but the only downer, of course is this wet, cold weather and the concern is this, theseee little buds that are just starting to try to bloom and this weather could cause frost to build up overnight, possibly damaging the flowers before ther even have a chance to bloom maybe causing some some of those petals to fall off 678 thats the worry. Luckily the National Parke service says they dont expect this weather to system to cause that much damage, as long as they move through the areaar quickly and should not be a major concern. But the other thing is, this wild weather you mentioned we go from very cold temperatures to extremely beautiful, warmauti now its cold and rainy and possibly well be seeing a rain snow mix. That makes it extremely difficult to predict the peak bloom dates. c tourists plan on those predictions to plan their visits to the tidal basin. The weather has made it very hard. Originally the peak bloom was predicted to midapril. Id now theyve been moved way up to march 23 and 24th. Nd 2 this is just a few days away.
