Rowan County Pollen Forecast

Pollen levels are running HIGH today and even higher tomorrow, and if you’ve stepped outside already… you’ve probably felt it.

Today

9.9 – High

Tomorrow

10.4 – High (Very High Range)

Today’s Top Allergens

• Maple
• Juniper
• Poplar

Tree pollen is in peak season right now, and these are some of the biggest triggers this time of year. Maple and juniper in particular are known for producing highly allergenic pollen that spreads easily in warm, breezy conditions.

What This Means

When pollen levels reach the “High” category, most people who suffer from allergies will experience symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion.

And with warm, dry, and breezy conditions — like we’re seeing right now — pollen levels tend to stay elevated throughout the day.

Bottom Line

If you deal with seasonal allergies, today and tomorrow will likely be rough.

You may want to:

• Limit time outdoors during the morning and early afternoon
• Keep windows closed
• Have allergy meds ready
