Pollen Forecast for Rochester, Washington
Discussion
Based on past pollen counts and expected weather conditions, pollen levels for Saturday will be falling in the moderate range. This forecast of lower pollen concentration is based on rising humidity, weak winds and expected precipitation in the morning, afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air. This reduction in pollen levels should be a relief to allergy sufferers.
