Rowan County Pollen Forecast

Pollen levels remain HIGH across Rowan County, and with the dry, breezy pattern setting up this weekend, relief is not coming anytime soon.

Today

Pollen Index: 11.5 – HIGH

Tree pollen continues to dominate, with the biggest contributors being:

• Maple
• Juniper
• Poplar

Warm temperatures and increasing winds ahead of a cold front are helping pollen spread easily through the air.

Tomorrow (Saturday)

Pollen Index: 10.6 – HIGH

Even with the cooler temperatures, pollen levels stay elevated.

• Gusty winds behind the cold front will continue to circulate pollen efficiently
• Much drier air will keep pollen from settling

What to Expect

• Sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion likely for allergy sufferers
• Peak pollen times will be during the afternoon hours, especially with sunshine and wind
• Limited relief overnight, even with cooler temperatures

Key Takeaways

• Tree pollen remains the main issue right now
• High levels continue through the weekend
• Dry, breezy conditions will keep pollen active and airborne
• Little rainfall means no real washout of allergens
