About pollen in McAllen
Pollen levels around McAllen are mild today, with weeds standing out as the most active type, though still only at a low level. Tree and grass pollen are both running very low and should go largely unnoticed. Even those with sensitivities are unlikely to experience much discomfort under these conditions. Looking ahead, little change is expected over the next several days. Weeds will continue to generate low levels of pollen with slight day-to-day variation, while tree and grass pollen stay consistently minimal throughout the stretch. This fits the seasonal pattern for mid-November in South Texas, as oak, ash, and mulberry trees remain dormant until closer to spring, and grasses have largely wound down for the year. Weeds, including ragweed, tend to linger later into the fall in this region, which explains why they remain the main source of pollen right now.
