Rowan County Pollen Forecast

Pollen levels are very high today, with an index of 9.9 (High) across Rowan County and much of the Piedmont.

The primary allergens in the air today are:
• Maple
• Elm
• Juniper

These trees are among the earliest pollen producers in North Carolina, often beginning in late winter and increasing sharply by mid-March as temperatures warm.

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, today may bring:
• Sneezing
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Runny nose
• Sinus pressure

The good news: rain and storms expected tonight into Monday should help wash some pollen out of the air, which is why the pollen forecast drops to 4.3 (Low–Medium) tomorrow.
