The likelihood of precipitation will be low, but it will increase to 9% on Saturday. The most promising opportunity for rainfall seems to occur next week, with the likelihood gradually increasing to 32% by Friday, September 27.

September is notorious for increasing allergy symptoms, as many may already be experiencing. Dallas experiences a greater number of days with “high” and “very high” risk levels for tree pollen overall than any other of the 100 most populated regions in the United States, according to a recent study conducted by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AFFA), as detailed in The Dallas Express.

According to AAFA, individuals are advised to remove their shoes, clean their pets after outdoor activities, and shower before going to bed to avoid pollen in their bedding.

But don’t let seasonal allergies prevent you from participating in the events that accompany cooler weather.

As fall tickles your nose, plenty of festivities may tickle your fancy. Immerse yourself in the season at events such as the Addison Oktoberfest, Plano Balloon Festival, State Fair of Texas, Cottonwood Art Festival, Ennis Autumn Daze, and the Dallas Brew Festival. Look here for all the details about these events, as previously reported by DX.
