Pollen Forecast Update

Tuesday, April 28, 2026 - 8:16am

Pollen levels remain HIGH today across Rowan County, with a reading of 9.2 (Medium-High range).

Today’s Top Allergens:

  • Oak
  • Sweetgum
  • Beech

If you’ve been feeling it lately — you’re not alone. Tree pollen is still in full swing.


Looking Ahead 

Tomorrow:
A big drop is expected, with pollen levels falling to 2.4 (LOW)

That decrease comes thanks to the rain moving through the area, helping to wash pollen out of the air.


What This Means

  • Today: Allergy symptoms likely elevated 
  • Tomorrow: Noticeable relief for many

Quick Tips

  • Keep windows closed today if possible
  • Rinse off / change clothes after being outside
  • Take advantage of the lower pollen levels tomorrow
