Apex, North Carolina, embraced a mix of local excitement and springtime energy over the past 24 hours. Here’s a rundown of what’s buzzing around town.

The weather on Sunday, April 6, was a pleasant 73°F during the day with partly cloudy skies, offering a perfect backdrop for outdoor activities in the community. Today, April 7, temperatures are expected to cool slightly to a high of 68°F with similar partly cloudy conditions, making it another great day to enjoy the blossoming spring scenery.

Pollen levels, however, continue to challenge allergy sufferers. The total pollen count reached 1334 grains per cubic meter, particularly driven by tree pollen from pine, oak, sweetgum, and birch. This remains in the *very high* range, so keep your antihistamines ready!

The air quality in Apex is holding steady at a good level with a Code Green rating across the board. This means it’s generally safe to be outside, even for those more sensitive to air pollution.

On the sports front, Apex High School’s varsity baseball team secured a thrilling victory over a local rival, defeating Cary High School 5-3 in an electrifying game last night. The team’s strong pitching and timely hitting carried them to a satisfying win. Meanwhile, the Apex Cougars girls’ soccer team played to a hard-fought tie, finishing 2-2 against Green Hope High School in what many spectators called a nail-biter.

In community news, the unveiling of the new outdoor hockey rinks at Apex Community Park is creating a buzz. While the grand opening is officially slated for Saturday, locals already can’t wait to enjoy this amenity. The rinks are part of a collaboration between the Town of Apex and the Carolina Hurricanes, adding a fresh recreational option for residents.

Finally, congratulations are in order for an Apex resident who received a joyous surprise from the PCH Prize Patrol. They were awarded $57,000 in winnings over the weekend, bringing a lucky spark to the town.

So whether you're heading out for fresh air, cheering at a local game, or simply enjoying a spring stroll, Apex is buzzing with its trademark small-town charm.
