AUSTIN, Texas — Cedar pollen counts have been consistently in the medium count since last Thursday. Rain generally helps settle pollen down. A breezy, dry northwest wind helps bring pollen counts back up.
Windy weather returned Tuesday afternoon. With the higher wind gusts and dry air, cedar pollen counts could briefly go up on Wednesday.
Small rain chances Thursday and Friday could help lower counts by the weekend.
