There is a chance of a pop-up shower in the late afternoon, but most of the area will stay rain-free.

Anyone allergic to pollen such as chenopods, ragweed and elm are advised to limit time outdoors. The pollen count is high on Saturday and will stay high through the next few days. 

Conditions are expected to remain the same on Sunday and Monday. A better chance of rain returns to the forecast on Thursday as a low pressure system moves into North Texas.
