Pollen Alert
-Pollen Index: 11.5 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Oak, Birch and Cedar/Juniper. Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Thursday will be falling but will remain in the very high range. This lowering of pollen concentrations is a result of falling temperatures, rising humidity, and expected precipitation in the evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air. That's good news for allergy sufferers.
