Pollen Index: 11.1 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Elm, Cedar/Juniper and Poplar/Aspen/Cottonwood. Pollen concentrations for Saturday will be falling but will remain in the high range. The cause for the falling pollen levels is falling temperatures, rising humidity, and expected precipitation in the morning, afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air. The lower pollen levels are significant and should help allergy sufferers to cope tomorrow.
