Discussion

The amount of pollen in the air for Wednesday will be falling in the moderate range. This lower level is caused by rising humidity, relatively calmer winds and expected precipitation in the 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.

Allergy Facts

Ragweed pollen grains are highly sculpted and have surfaces covered with large spines. Interestingly, this menacing appearance has nothing to do with its ability to cause hay fever.
