About pollen in Amarillo
Weed pollen is the main story in Amarillo today, sitting at a moderate level that could be noticeable for those who tend to react to it. Tree pollen, meanwhile, is barely registering and shouldn't cause much concern. Overall, this adds up to a moderate day, with most of the effect coming from weeds rather than trees. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at this moderate level over the next several days, while tree pollen stays quiet throughout. This lines up with the season, as late summer in the Texas Panhandle typically brings rising weed activity, with ragweed being a common culprit, while trees such as elm and cedar remain dormant until later in the year. Anyone sensitive to weed pollen may want to keep that in mind as the pattern continues through the week.
