Pollen Alert
-Pollen Index: 10.1 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Mulberry, Sycamore and Ash. The pollen levels for Saturday will be falling but will remain in the high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to rising relative humidity and relatively weaker winds.
