POLLEN COUNT IN THE 3000s: The light rain overnight should help, but we had a big jump in the pollen count this morning! 3429 this morning is in the extremely high range.

“We’re more on the winter side of things right now.”
Saturday’s temp about 5:15 p.m. was 56, with a high of 61 expected.
That high would be about 10 degrees below the average for the date, and well below Friday’s high of 74.
There’s a 60 percent chance of rain, which Monahan said will come in “pockets.”
