Pollen causing problems for allergy sufferers this week

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Chances are your car has that nice yellow tint of pollen on it and that pollen will continue to cake on your car for the next several days.

As we watch the tree pollen continue to climb, grass pollen is becoming more and more of an issue -- almost matching tree pollen’s havoc on people dealing with watery eyes and scratchy throats.

Oak pollen and pine remain the top allergy producers and they will not back down even on Thursday as a cold front approaches.

We’ll see some more relief by Friday with better rain chances.
