Discussion

The amount of pollen in the air for Wednesday will be increasing over today's levels but will still remain in the low range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this increase is due in part to seasonally normal weather conditions which are favorable for the production and dispersal of pollen. These overall conditions could make it a bit more difficult for those who are allergic to airborne pollens.
