Cherry blossom status at Mt Yoshino

I have a plan to Japan in April 2013 and want to see sakura at Mt. Yoshino. In fact a few years ago I went there but disappointed due to Sakura is only 5% bloom.
My question is that how can I check status of cherry blossom blooming? So I can go to see sakura at the right time.
PS. Some time cannot wait for Sakura bloosom report.

The first forecasts are out around February, but they may not be very accurate.

The following website has forecasts for Yoshino starting in March, I believe:

Uji-San,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply.
Can I ask hotel staff to call Train station at Mt Yoshino and asking the status of cherry blossom?
(Or any other approach to get more precise answer).
Also the http://www.sakura.yoshino.jp/ there is no english version.
However it is better because at least I can ask hotel staff to check/translate for me.
Thanks again Uji-san and waiting for your suggestion.
