Pollen Index: 9.6 Pollen Level: medium-high Predominant Pollen: Oak, Hickory/Pecan and Cedar/Juniper. The quantity of pollen grains in the air for Saturday will be falling but will remain in the high range. This change results in part from rising humidity, weak winds and expected precipitation in the evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
