About pollen in Lubbock
Weed pollen is the main driver of today's pollen picture in Lubbock, sitting at a moderate level. Those with sensitivities may notice some effects, particularly with extended time outdoors, while most other people should get through the day without much trouble. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at this moderate level through the next several days, so conditions should remain fairly consistent rather than swinging higher or lower. This lines up with the season, as late summer in West Texas typically brings weeds like ragweed into their active stretch. Tree pollen, from sources such as juniper, elm, and mulberry that are common in the area, tends to be quiet this time of year, with its heavier activity generally confined to spring.
