Early blooming and leafing in Massachusetts

Well, we're just a couple days into May 22 news storm team meteorologist Alexa Bianco explains the leaf and bloom status. Now we're just a couple of days into May. So let's talk about the leaf index that are early and late as well. So looking at the United States, most of the country is pretty early, about 20 days at least early, especially for central part of the United States. Some parts of the southeast a little bit late, but even in the northeast where we live, New England a little bit early as well, getting close to about maybe 5 to 10 days early in some spots, even for western Massachusetts. As you can tell, it's a little far away, but you can tell that dark red mark where we are, even for the blooming. Most of the United States very early, at least 20 days, especially for areas like Nebraska, Central Central United States, which that's because we had such a big warm up pretty early on in the spring, breaking records across most of the country. But in the northeast, we're not there just yet with the blooming. We're not early or late. We're just kind of right where we're supposed to be. But that is going to increase the allergy season. So the pollen count is pretty high for tree. So I would say if you do have a sensitivity to it, have your allergy medicine on standby working for you. Storm team meteorologist Alexa Bianco.
