Pollen Index: 9.7 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Alder, Elm and Poplar/Aspen/Cottonwood. Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Tuesday will be greater than today's levels and extend even further into the extremely high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this increase is due in part to rising temperatures. If you have these allergies, tomorrow will likely be more difficult outdoors.
