In Apex, North Carolina, the past 24 hours have been filled with a mix of chilly weather, community events, and ongoing developments that are shaping the town.

### Weather
As of the latest report on February 25, the weather in Apex has been quite cold. The temperature at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, which serves as a nearby weather station, was 39.0°F with mostly clear skies and calm winds[2]. This Arctic airmass is expected to keep temperatures low and conditions crisp for the foreseeable future.

### Air Quality
The air quality in the region remains relatively good, with current PM2.5 levels within the Code Green range, indicating healthy air quality. However, there is a slight chance of elevated fine particulate values in the morning, especially in the southeastern part of the state, due to pollutants from the previous day. Favorable mixing in the afternoon is expected to lower these values[4].

### Pollen Count
Although the latest pollen report is from October 2024, the winter season typically sees low pollen counts. The next pollen sample is expected to be collected and reported in February 2025, but for now, residents can anticipate minimal pollen levels[3].

### Community Events
On February 22, the community came together for a Black History Month Event, a Hip Hop Workshop that celebrated the rich cultural heritage and creative expression of hip hop. This engaging event was a highlight of the week's activities[1].

### Restaurant Week
Starting on February 24, Apex is hosting its Restaurant Week, a week-long culinary celebration where local restaurants will showcase their best dishes. This is a great opportunity to explore the diverse dining scene in Apex[1].

### Town Council and Community Meetings
Today, February 26, the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Advisory Commission Meeting will take place, focusing on enhancing community amenities. This follows the Regular Town Council Meeting held on February 25, which addressed various town issues and initiatives[1].

### Downtown Revitalization
Exciting changes are underway in Downtown Apex as part of the Apex Revitalization Plan, which began in January. Phase 1 is already adding over 150 parking spaces and 9 electric vehicle chargers. Future phases will create a more pedestrian-friendly Salem Street and revitalize alleyways for outdoor dining and vibrant public spaces[1].

In summary, Apex is buzzing with activity, from chilly but clear weather to vibrant community events and significant downtown revitalization efforts. Whether you're exploring local cuisine during Restaurant Week or attending community meetings, there's something for everyone in this dynamic town.
