Pollen Index: 10 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Maple, Cedar/Juniper and Alder. Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Wednesday 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. That's good news for allergy sufferers.
