Pollen Index: 9.1 Pollen Level: medium-high Predominant Pollen: Cedar/Juniper and Poplar/Cottonwood Pollen concentrations for Tuesday will be rising in the high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this increase is due in part to rising temperatures, strong winds and lower relative humidity. This heavy increase in pollen concentration could very well cause problems for those who are allergic to airborne pollens.
