October 2009 Archives

Warm and muggy on Wednesday. Fog in the morning, then partly sunny with a brief shower possible in the afternoon. High in the low-90s! Heat Index in the upper-90s!! A front hits Thursday, setting us up for sunny, cooler weather Friday through Sunday with highs in the 70s...not to mention much lower humidity! Watch these early fall cold fronts, though. They often bring in Red Berry Juniper pollen from Northwest Texas and the Texas Panhandle. Under the microscope, it looks just like Mountain Cedar (Ashe's Juniper) pollen. Some people react to it just like they do to Mountain Cedar. Here's a link for more information on Red Berry Juniper, including a map showing where in Texas it grows.
