Pollen Index: 9.5 Pollen Level: medium-high Predominant Pollen: Oak, Birch and Maple. Pollen concentrations for Wednesday 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, relatively calmer winds and expected precipitation in the morning, afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
