Pollen Forecast for Lafayette, Tennessee

Oak, Cedar/Juniper, Maple
Discussion
Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Friday will be rising and extend further into the very high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this increase is due in part to higher temperatures and the lower dewpoint. This heavy increase in pollen concentration could very well cause problems for those who are allergic to airborne pollens.
