Discussion

Based on past pollen counts and expected weather conditions, pollen levels for Saturday will be falling in the moderate range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to falling temperatures and heavy rains in the morning and evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air. This reduction in pollen levels should be a relief to allergy sufferers.
