It's back! Allergy season is here and that means all of the symptoms that go with it

PITTSBURGH — It may not be summer yet, but it is allergy season and if you have been sniffling and sneezing a lot over the last couple of weeks, there's a good reason why.

As trees in our area are starting to bloom and flower, pollen in the air is increasing at a rapid rate.

Tree pollen is high Thursday, and that's a predominant factor this time of the year.

Grass pollen has not started yet.
