Peak bloom is reached when at least 70% of the Yoshino cherry blossoms are open. If the projections are correct, it will happen toward the midpoint of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which spans from March 20 through April 13 this year. Once the trees hit peak bloom, they'll stay that way for about 10 days, according to FOX5 D.C.

The National Park Service projects the cherry blossom trees that line the Tidal Basin in D.C. will likely be at peak bloom from March 28 to 31.
