This map shows peak migration dates across the US modeled using radar data. Keep in mind, the dates represent peaks, but migration usually plays out across a couple of weeks, so estimate ± 1 week on either side of the dates on the map for max migration activity.02 Apr 2025 14:51 +0000at://did:plc:vt5bg6ofekoddldvil2tefcw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lltn7bupkc2s
