Very High Pollen in Bryan, TX

About pollen in Bryan

Tree pollen is the dominant force in Bryan today, reaching a very high level that is likely to affect even those with mild sensitivities. Grass and weed pollen are both at moderate levels, adding to the overall burden but playing a secondary role. Altogether, this makes for a day when allergy symptoms are likely to be more pronounced than usual, particularly for anyone sensitive to tree pollen. Looking ahead, tree pollen is expected to remain high tomorrow before dropping off sharply over the following two days, then ticking back up by the end of the workweek. Grass and weed levels should ease in tandem before a similar late-week rise. This pattern is a bit unusual for late September, when tree pollen typically stays quiet and ragweed and other weeds tend to take the lead — so the current surge, possibly tied to lingering warm-season trees such as cedar elm or juniper common in this area, is worth noting as conditions shift into the fall season.
