PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Good morning, it’s backkkkk…… It’s almost like watching a scary movie and probably like your favorite scary movie it’s back for its annual installment. I am talking about ragweed of course.
Weed levels are currently in the moderate range according to the National Allergy Bureau reporting site in Monroeville. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Ragweed season lasts for about six weeks, peaking in September.

Seventy-five percent of people allergic to pollen are allergic to ragweed. That means it affects a lot of folks right here in Pennsylvania.

Here locally, places north of I-80 may see storms and severe weather, especially in the evening and overnight hours. Most here locally will be completely dry over the next 48 hours though.
