Pollen Index: 9.6 Pollen Level: medium-high Predominant Pollen: Ragweed and Grass. Based on past pollen counts and expected weather conditions, pollen levels for Friday will be falling but will remain in the high range. This decrease is due to falling temperatures, rising humidity, and expected precipitation in the evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
