So, yeah, it's it's all about pollen
right now. And I want you to take
a look at today's pollen count.
I mean, it's not outrageous, but there's
a couple things I want to point out.
We have mountain cedar today.
That's moderate.
And it's mountain cedar season.
But look what's popped up.
Elm has it's kind of reared its
ugly head a couple of times the
last week week and 1/2 an Elm today.
First time I've seen it,
or I should say ash today,
first time I've seen it.
That's low. Fungus is always there.
So what's the deal with mountain cedar,
the dreaded mountain cedar?
Well, it grows.
I I was corrected on the tweeter
tonight because you folks,
you, you know who you are.
You love to correct me on the tweeter.
I've always called it Hill Country,
but apparently it's the Hill Country,
even though the hill.
Country website just says Hill Country,
but once again I digress.
It grows down here in Hill Country.
OK so Texas Hill Country.
Also we have some mountain
cedar in parts of North Texas.
So these were the winds today,
these arrows pointing to the north.
So we had a S wind today,
had a S southwesterly wind over here.
So a pilot production peaks in mid January.
It starts to taper off late
February into March.
Why does it taper off late
February into March?
Because that's when we start to
green up in this part of Texas.
So once things.
Start to green up mountain.
Cedar season pretty quickly
comes to an end and we're near
the end of February right now,
but certainly late February,
no doubt by the middle of March,
it's over with.
So here's the beauty about Texas.
Number one,
we don't have to deal with the kind
of snow they're dealing with up there
in Minnesota on a consistent basis,
at least during the winter.
For us here, our pollen season,
we have cedar or juniper.
So what's the difference
between cedar and juniper?
Well, Cedar is actually a type of juniper,
OK.
I talked about that a handful of nights ago.
So during the winter we
have cedar or juniper.
During the spring we saw this,
we saw this on the pollen count.
We have our trees,
they start to start to bud and the
trees are already starting to bud.
So in the spring, you know,
we're going to end mountain Cedar
season during the, you know,
the next couple of weeks and
then springs here, the Oaks,
the ashes, the Elms,
etcetera,
they all start to bud and they
start blowing around.
Then we that season kind of comes to
an end as all the leaves come out.
Then we just go to the the
summer pollen season,
which is grass and you know what happens.
That's the once the summer season ends,
we go right into fall.
We have ragweed and we
haven't have a few trees
in the fall. And then once the fall
season ends, we go right back here,
then here, then here, then here.
It's year round, one of the beauty,
beautiful, beautiful things of North Texas
weather and the whole state. Right now,
we're clear out there at this point.
Here's my forecast. Watch this.
See, few clouds overnight, but mostly clear.
Here comes cold front.
It's gonna pass through the Dallas Fort Worth
area about 10:11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
It'll bring with it.
Some cooler temps will certainly follow.
You'll see that in a few moments.
But this front,
as it moves through 7:00 AM tomorrow,
as it moves through, it'll trigger just
a little bit of rain across the area.
I'm talking 10% during the day.
Tomorrow, 7:00 PM tomorrow.
There we are. There's the front.
So temps tomorrow, 90.
Yesterday, 81. Today, 69.
At Fort Worth tomorrow, 70.
And now also about 10 degrees
cooler tomorrow than today.
Tomorrow night, maybe a couple sprinkles.
Here comes a little bit of rain on Friday,
7:00 AM on Friday.
Look at that couple showers across the area,
especially as we head through
the latter part of the day.
I even keep a little bit of rain
around there Saturday during the day.
Watch this now here's go to Saturday night.
Here comes a big system Saturday night
that brings with it our best chance of
rain that Sunday night and then into the
early morning hours on Monday tonight.
Dry, cool, Breezy 53 is the low cooler,
at least than it has.
Then and tomorrow. It's a breezy day,
not as warm but still above normal.
The normal high is about 62.
We hit 70 tomorrow, a mostly cloudy day.
We'll have some sunshine in the morning.
We cloud up in the afternoon.
40% of a sea rain Friday.
Even cooler? Friday's high 54.
On Saturday we hit 60.
30% of a sea rain Saturday,
40% of a sea rained Sunday,
then Sunday night about 70
to 80% of a sea rain.
And some of those storms
late late Sunday night,
early early Monday morning do have the risk.
It's a low risk,
but a risk of some severe weather.
Then dry on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday when March begins,
and then another little bit of
rain next Thursday and Friday.
So kind of on and off rain,
no washout there as we head
through the next four days,
but on and off rain even Saturday and Sunday.
