Discussion

The amount of pollen in the air for Thursday will be falling in the moderate range. The cause for the falling pollen levels is rising humidity, relatively calmer winds and expected precipitation in the morning and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air. With this amount of reduction in pollen levels, tomorrow should be better for allergy sufferers.
