About pollen in Wichita Falls
Pollen levels are elevated across the board in Wichita Falls today, with tree and weed pollen both running high and grass close behind at a moderate level. Ragweed and related weeds are likely the main source of irritation this time of year, and combined with the active tree pollen, sensitive individuals may notice more pronounced symptoms than usual. It is a good day to be mindful if you tend to react to airborne allergens. Looking ahead, weed and grass pollen should hold steady at high and moderate levels over the next couple of days before gradually tapering toward the end of the five-day outlook, while tree pollen is expected to ease off more quickly. This pattern fits typical seasonal trends for late September, when ragweed and other weeds dominate as the primary allergy trigger, even as lingering pollen from oak, elm, and juniper trees common to the area continues to contribute in smaller amounts. Grass pollen, past its late-spring peak, should keep contributing modestly to overall levels through the week.
