SAN ANTONIO — Many allergy sufferers in the San Antonio area had a tough past few days when molds spiked across the area.
Molds are known to spike whenever we have heavy rainfall move through the region during this time of year.
On Tuesday, before the rain arrived, molds were still fairly low, sitting at a light level with ragweed at moderate and fall elm at light.
The heavy rain moved through the region Tuesday night, dropping one to four inches of rain on some areas.
By Wednesday, the number for molds came in very heavy at 15,130 compared to 280 the day before. Ragweed remained light at only 70.
For Thursday, we hadn't seen the numbers for molds move very much, staying heavy at 9,220. Also on Thursday, Ragweed came in at moderate with 130 and fall elm came in at light with 40.
Friday's pollen count shows molds really falling, with moderate levels at 780 and ragweed levels coming in light at 40.
With drier weather over the weekend, we will likely see the numbers for molds stay lower compared to what we saw Wednesday and Thursday, hopefully helping those allergy sufferers.
