Discussion

The amount of pollen in the air for Friday will be falling in the moderate range. This relief in pollen levels is caused in part by rising humidity, weak winds and expected precipitation in the morning, afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air. With this amount of reduction in pollen levels, tomorrow should be better for allergy sufferers.

Allergy Facts

Mountain cedar is a preeminent allergen source. This species grows abundantly from the low limestone hills of western Texas to the mountains of central Mexico and sheds pollen copiously from late fall until late winter.
