The pollen season at TPC Craig Ranch mirrors McKinney overall, starting with mountain cedar in December with oak and elm joining in and continuing through March. Grass pollen then peaks through April and May, and a long ragweed tail continues into October. Mountain cedar's December-through-February peak is one of the most intense tree pollen events in the US, consistent with the wider McKinney area.

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in McKinney, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
