Here to talk more about the seasonal sniffles is dr. Richard rosenthal, an allergy specialist, dr. Rosenthal, thanks for joining us and a lot of the newsroom colleagues, we are sniffling and watery eyes and what is triggers the problems . This time of the year. It is the trees. Trees pollinate in february, march and april. Right now, oak, mostly oak pollen. Doctor, we thought it would be a little easier, because of the weather, it has remained cold but it seems like it is making things worse. Well, actually it is really the sunlight that makes the difference. The trees dont care if it is hot or hold but the amount of moisture and the hours of sunlight. So the oak, the popple, the maple trees. They dont care about that. Seasonal allergies and what ou never had problems like i have now, until i moved to this washington, d. C. Area. Do symptoms go away if you move from one area of the country to the other or increase . Well, people, generally, take their allergies with them, for example, people used to move to arizona to get away from their allergies, and that worked for a while, until they had all of these trees planted in arizona, and now they take the allergies with them. They have to go to alaska with a short pollen season. So doctor, what is the releave . Is it shots only the answer . Or do any of the overthe counter meds work . Well, they do. In fact there is more overthe counter meds available now than ever before. A lot of prescription products are now overthecounter. So for example, there are at least three nonsedating antihistamines available over thecounter. And two, possibly three, nasal steroids that are anti inflammatory available overthe counter. So that could be your first stop. And is there a difference, the symptoms seem the same, between the common cold and an allergy, and how do we know which one we have . Sometimes it is hard to things, run, stuffy nose, postnasal drip, cough, eye symptoms, and that is a function of the nose as a functional organ but the same time of the year every year, that is a good indication it is an allergy. Dr. Rosenthal, thanks for joining us.

We have a temperature, and the winds, too, the temperature 49. And look at the winds gusting already to 23 miles an hour. And with some nice dry air, a little bit of a fire danger today.

We will zoom in on that because that is causing all sorts of problems up across the midwest. That is what is going to cause our problems starting tomorrow morning. So tomorrow, it is going to be a yellow weather alert day. For the rest of the afternoon, i expect our nice sunny skies to give way to some higher clouds, and if it all works out, a real nice sunset. Lets show you the future cast there for later today. And tomorrow. With the clouds increasing, as we go throughout the afternoon, and tonight. And winds also increasing, sought southwesterly, 20, 30 miles an hour. Tomorrow morning, the morning rush, looks like a wet one. Give yourself extra time. The yeblg weather alert. The line of showers push through with a little bit of a break midday and the heaviest rain in the morning and we have the concern of some showers spotty in the afternoon. With the nats home opener at 4 05, a game you can see right here on wusa 9, you will watch that carefully, and then another colder shot of air will be moving in saturday. So lets show you the threeday forecast. With the temperatures, which are going to be on the mild side today. And cooling off tomorrow. We will be in the upper 50s today. And cooling off tomorrow late though. First we get to 64. And then we will cool off tomorrow night. Mid50s friday. And get ready on saturday. Saturday, it looks like we are going to have snow showers around. And possibly even seeing some folks getting a minor accumulation to start the day on saturday. Back in the mid40s, and then we will see temperatures recover with springtime returning. Next week. Unbelievable. Up and down coming our way.
