Discussion

Based on past pollen counts and expected weather conditions, pollen levels for Thursday will be rising but will still remain in the low 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. This heavy increase in pollen concentration could very well cause problems for those who are allergic to airborne pollens.
