Pollen Alert
-Pollen Index: 9.7 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Ash and Cedar/Juniper Pollen concentrations for Monday will be falling but will remain in the high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to rising humidity, weak winds and expected precipitation in the evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
