AUSTIN (KXAN) – Over the last few days, we have seen a large spike in cedar pollen in our area. In fact, our new advanced pollen sensor above our KXAN-TV studio detected a very high count of 12,353 grains per cubic meter on Jan. 4 — the highest count of the season.
With more cold fronts in the forecast, we are predicting additional spikes in the pollen count.
Jonathan Motsinger, the Central Texas operations department head with the Texas A&M Forest Service, spoke to meteorologist Sean Kelly about how weather plays a large role in cedar and what he expects in the coming months . You can read the interview below to learn more.
Sean Kelly KXAN News: Thank you so much for being here with us. A lot of people have been emailing us and calling in about cedar fever. And it’s a big issue here in Central Texas that we face.
