Cedar pollen increased behind Monday's cold front

The pollen is expected to remain elevated through Tuesday

AUSTIN, Texas — Mountain Cedar Season officially kicked off on Dec. 1 and although KVUE has recorded medium amounts of the pollen, cedar has remained out of the high count so far this month. 

The Cedar count increased from 33 gr/m3 Monday morning to 100 gr/m3 by Monday afternoon to 107 gr/m3 by Tuesday morning. The reason for the increase was a dry and gusty north wind behind a cold front.

As of Wednesday, cedar pollen count has lowered to 80 gr/m3.
