Pollen Index: 11.4 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Ragweed, Nettle and Grass. The amount of pollen in the air for Saturday will be falling but will remain in the very high range. This lower level is caused by falling temperatures, rising humidity, and expected precipitation in the evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
