Pollen Index: 10.5 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Ragweed, Chenopods and Nettle. The amount of pollen in the air for Saturday will be falling in the moderate range. This lowering of pollen concentrations is a result of falling temperatures, rising humidity, and expected precipitation in the morning and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air. With this amount of reduction in pollen levels, tomorrow should be better for allergy sufferers.
