Pollen Index: 9.8 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Cedar/Juniper, Elm and Birch. Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Friday 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 strong winds and decreasing humidity. If you have these allergies, tomorrow will likely be more difficult outdoors.
