New forecasts should be available on Tuesday, February 1st. *** Pollen release will be very limited for the next three days, as conditions remain unfavorable to mostly unfavorable. Temperature and moisture conditions are unfavorable today. Some warming will occur Sunday and Monday, but conditions will be favorable for only a few hours each afternoon. In addition, moisture levels will increase as Monday approaches, so any pollen release that occurs will most likely be from western sections of the Edwards Plateau. Since airborne amounts will be small, only residents of west-central TX may be affected by release events Sunday and Monday. TK
