Sneezing? Lots of Pollen in the forecast!
If you have been sneezing a lot here lately, it is likely due to extremely high pollen counts. The Pollen count remains in the high category across most of the Nation and will remain elevated through the end of the week.
If you have tree pollen allergies... some things to keep in mind:
* Avoid being outside in the morning, when tree pollen is highest. Save the outdoor activities until later in the day, when it subsides.
* Tree pollen is usually lower after a good rain, save longer outdoor
* Keep windows closed and use the A/C if needed
* Take a shower or bath before bed, as pollen can be carried into the house on your clothes or hair. (and even on your pet!)
As far as the weather goes, a weather system is still forecast to bring rain and thunderstorms to the Ohio Valley by Friday Afternoon and into the day on Saturday. One thing that myself and Jansen have both noticed though, is that the models are continuing to slow down the system, so it could end up lingering into Sunday. Stay tuned!
