Sparky Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yoshino Cherry out front is still in winter mode, no buds are even swelling yet much less blooming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Springtime rain NAM'd on the 12z. 2" QPF. Orioles home opener looks a bit damp. 850 0C line is about 150 miles away and surface 0C is in central Canada, but there's time to work out those details. Track is good. Can I get an "all in"?

Ian Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Yoshino Cherry out front is still in winter mode, no buds are even swelling yet much less blooming. The Tidal Basin trees are going to be later than predicted peak it would seem. I have some of the same type near me that are maybe a day or two from opening up a bit. The early ones have been in bloom for like 4 weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I didn't know there were earlier ones than the Yoshino. Do you know what they are called? not sure what the types are unfortunately. there are probably at least two types that bloom before the yoshino (think that's the main one on the tidal basin). one blooms periodically in winter when it's warm at least partially. here's one when it snowed: guessing it's one of these.. might try to look closer to see if i can tell Kanzakura Average blooming period in Tokyo: late February to mid March The Kanzakura is among the first cherry trees to bloom. It is encountered only in relatively small numbers in some city parks where they surprise and delight visitors with their early blooming schedule. Kawazuzakura Average blooming period in Tokyo: mid March Named after Kawazu Town on the Izu Peninsula, where the tree variety was originally cultivated, the Kawazuzakura is among the earliest flowering cherry trees. Large numbers of them bloom during the cherry blossom festival in Kawazu which is held annually in late February and early March. The tree is less common in other parts of Japan. Kanhizakura Average blooming period in Tokyo: mid to late March This tree with its dark pink, bell shaped flowers is native to Taiwan and Okinawa where it blooms as early as January and February. In the parks of Tokyo it is not usually in bloom until mid March, but still among the earliest blooming varieties. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2011_species.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Prob 70+ Tue and mid 70s+ Wed. 80 bullseye on Wed around WinterWxLuvr at 18z. GFS looks substantially cooler, and with the high offshore and east winds over us, certainly a possibility of a marine layer being in play.
