00:00Flowers, they're now starting to bloom outside and that could trigger some of those spring allergies. Yeah, we've

00:08Definitely dealt with them across some parts of the northern tier of the nation more so across the south and with a new front and found

00:16New front moving its way through the nation and bringing in that cool air

00:20It also brings in some winds which is not great news because the tree pollen is still

00:24High for the upcoming days and places like Oklahoma City

00:28So even as we get those north winds to gust their way on through behind this front

00:32It's still going to mean some challenges. So we will be dealing with that. Elsewise, though

00:37We are looking okay, at least in Oklahoma City

00:39Let's take you though into Jackson, Mississippi

00:42Because we do have some dust and dander early on and we've got some of that rain to keep you inside

00:47At least as we head through Saturday then after that we'll start to dry things out a little bit

00:53But that does lead to some potential after all this wet weather that we've had this week for the chance for mold

00:58And then you also have to keep in mind that tree pollen remains high in places like West Palm Beach, Florida

01:03But we've always got that dust and dander here to contend with that's a really a big story and grass

01:09Pollen is also headed up as we go through the upcoming days

01:12So you want to be aware of that if we take you into the southwest? Let's go to California because Los Angeles

01:19This time of year we're starting to notice that rise in the tree pollen

01:23So that jumps to high Sunday and Monday and then of course

01:25We've got that dust and dander challenge to to contend with otherwise those still pretty good

01:30Here with play things like grass pollen. So that's some great news
