Pollen Index: 10.4 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Ash, Birch and Oak. Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Saturday will be greater than today's levels and extend further into the very high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this increase is due in part to higher temperatures and the lower dewpoint.
