Discussion
Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Sunday 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, rising humidity and heavy rains in the afternoon which tend to wash pollen out of the air. That's good news for allergy sufferers.
