AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Pollen is on the rise in the CSRA, and you may have seen it.

Tree pollen counts are expected to be high this week, and grass pollen is rising as the spring solstice is right around the corner. Meteoritical spring started on March 1.

Tornadoes confirmed elsewhere, but did CSRA see any? Experts to decide

At least three tornadoes have been confirmed in the two-state area from severe storms Sunday morning – and officials are checking out Barnwell and Burke counties today.

Here are some ways to keep seasonal allergies at bay:

  • Keep windows closed,
  • Brush pets, especially those that go outside,
  • Use a HEPA air filter and regularly change it,
  • Drying clothes inside,
  • staying hydrated,
  • change clothes and shoes when you get home
  • shower after being outside,
  • stay inside

If symptoms of allergies persist, it may be best to go to a doctor.
