Reaching Stage 5, known as "puffy white," the peak bloom is expected between Monday and Wednesday. This is the earliest stage reached in at least two decades. If weather conditions remain favorable, the blossoms can last up to a week, with peak bloom declared when 70% of the cherry tree buds are open.
