Discussion

Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Saturday will be higher than they were today in the moderate 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. If you do suffer from allergies tomorrow could be more difficult.

Allergy Facts

Many decades ago, farmers in the Pacific Northwest planted ragweed in their apple orchards for ground cover. When the public health impact of this blunder was fully determined, the plant was then aggressively eradicated. This explains why ragweed is so uncommon in western Washington and Oregon today.
