POLLINATORS, SO STAY TUNED FOR THAT TOO. SPEAKING OF POLLEN AS WELL, BEE’S POLLEN KIND OF GO HAND IN HAND THIS TIME OF YEAR. YEAH, BRIAN. POLLEN IS STILL VERY HIGH FOR CERTAIN TREES. IS THAT RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. THERE’S NO SHORTAGE OF IT, THAT’S FOR SURE. IN OUR AREA, IN FACT, BEFORE WE GET TO THE POLLEN FORECAST. CHECKING YESTERDAY’S LEVELS AT FORSYTH COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS. TREE POLLEN WAS ACTUALLY IN THE VERY HIGH COLUMN. AND SURPRISINGLY, GRASS POLLEN WAS HIGH YESTERDAY.

OUR AREA AS THE TEMPERATURES ARE WARMING UP QUITE NICELY. WE HAD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 83 DEGREES IN GREENSBORO YESTERDAY. TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL LIKELY BE. 12 EVEN 15 DEGREES COLDER THIS AFTERNOON. AS WE START TO BRING OUR TEMPERATURES BACK CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. EVEN GOT INTO THE MID 80S ACROSS MANY OF THE WESTERN PIEDMONT AND GETTING INTO THE FOOTHILLS YESTERDAY. OUR NORMAL HIGH IS 71 DEGREES. JUST TO GIVE YOU A POINT OF COMPARISON.
Much warmer Monday, but Triad temps will change soon

TO SIT INSIDE THIS WEEK AT ALL TO WATCH A MOVIE, BECAUSE ARE WE GOING TO HAVE SOME GOOD WEATHER AT LEAST? YEAH. I MEAN, TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO CHANGE QUITE A BIT, BUT IT’S DRY. I MEAN, IT’S IT’S NICE AND DRY. SOME WINDY DAYS TOO. THE ONE THING WE HAVE TO WATCH, ADRIANA, IS FIRE RISK. AS THE WEEK EVOLVES. WE’VE HAD SOME GOOD RAINS OF LATELY. THINGS ARE IN BLOOM AND GREENING UP AND MOISTENING UP. SO WE DON’T HAVE AS MANY FUELS ON THE GROUND THAT CAN CATCH FIRE WITH EASE AND VERY LITTLE EFFORT.
Grab the umbrella! Impactful rain returns to the Triad

2 weeks ago | wxii12.com | Brian Slocum

ARE GETTING OUT IN A MONTH AND TEN DAYS. BUT YEAH, WE’VE GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT OF ALL THE SEASONS. YEAH. RECORD HIGH LAST FRIDAY TIED A RECORD ON SATURDAY, 87 DEGREES. I REMEMBER THAT DAY. OH MY GOSH. IT WAS LIKE WE WE STOLE A LITTLE SUMMER OVER LAST WEEKEND. THAT’S NOT COMING BACK ANYTIME SOON. WE’LL HAVE SOME WARMER DAYS AHEAD. BUT BEST I THINK WE’LL DO IS 70 MOVING FORWARD. IN THE MEANTIME, TEMPERATURES IF ANYTHING, ARE TRENDING DOWNWARD. CLOUD COVER, RISING RAIN CHANCES WILL BE HELPFUL. THERE.
Another triad storm set to bring another round of soaking rain

BRIAN. SO WHAT’S OUR WEDNESDAY LOOKING LIKE? WELL, SLOW MOVING WET SYSTEMS CAN CAUSE ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH FLOODING. IT HAPPENED WITH HELENE LAST YEAR. IT HAPPENED IN KENTUCKY, WEST VIRGINIA, OHIO, JUST LAST WEEK WE HAD TWO, THREE, FOUR DAYS OF RAIN THAT CAUSED WIDESPREAD FLOODING AND SEE, RESIDUAL FLOOD WARNINGS ARE STILL IN PLACE OVER MUCH OF TENNESSEE MOVING THROUGH MISSISSIPPI DOWN THROUGH THE BASIN.
Another round of beneficial rain expected in the Triad later this week

AND I’M PUMPED. BASEBALL SEASON IS BACK. IT IS HERE. EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN’T REALLY FEEL LIKE BASEBALL WEATHER. WE’LL KEEP CHECKING IN WITH ERIN AND BRIAN THROUGHOUT OUR SHOWS. BRIAN, HOW IS TODAY’S DASH FORECAST? IT LOOKS COOL TO SAY THE LEAST. FIRST PITCH TEMPERATURES WITH THE SUN UP AROUND 52 DEGREES AND THEN COOLING DOWN INTO THE 40S FOR LATER INNINGS. SO JACKETS ARE A GOOD IDEA.
Cooler Triad temperatures return ahead of late week rain

Triad temperatures fall sharply this week raising frost and freeze concerns

2 weeks ago | wxii12.com | Brian Slocum

Frost. Really? Yes.That's tough to comprehend after three consecutive 80-degree days. The high temperature at Piedmont Triad International Airport reached 87 degrees on Friday, April 4, setting a new record high. The same temperature was recorded the following day, tying the record high temperature for April 5.This unusually warm weather pattern is beginning to break down.
Rainy Monday may include a few strong to severe storms in the Triad

DESTINATION. I STILL DON’T KNOW HOW DUKE LOST THAT BASKETBALL GAME. ALL RIGHT. WE’VE GOT SOME WET WEATHER STREAMING IN OUT OF THE GULF, AND IT’S TRAINING. IT’S A TERM THAT WE USE TO KIND OF INDICATE IT’S A GOOD ANALOGY. YOU HAVE TRAINS MOVING ACROSS THE TRACKS. EACH CAR GOES OVER THE SAME SPOT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHEN YOU HAVE TRAINING RAINS, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THE STATIONARY BOUNDARY MAKES THE RAIN MOVE OVER THE SAME AREAS TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
