Pollen concentrations for Friday will be falling in the moderate range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to falling temperatures and expected precipitation in the morning which tends to wash pollen out of the air. The lower pollen levels are significant and should help allergy sufferers to cope tomorrow.
