Discussion

Based on past pollen counts and expected weather conditions, pollen levels for Friday will be falling into the very low range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to falling temperatures, rising humidity, and expected precipitation in the afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
