Pollen, Air Quality, and Soil Temperature Forecast

for Rowan County – Sunday, October 19

Pollen:
Pollen levels remain very low across Rowan County. Late-season weeds such as ragweed may still be present in small amounts, but overall allergen levels are minimal. Most allergy sufferers should have no major issues outdoors today.

Air Quality:
The current Air Quality Index (AQI) is in the Moderate category, around 60 in Salisbury. This is safe for most people, though those with asthma or other respiratory conditions should consider limiting extended outdoor activity this afternoon.

Soil Temperature:
Soil temperatures remain mild and workable for mid-October but will gradually cool behind tonight’s front. Gardeners can expect slower root growth later this week as overnight lows drop into the upper 30s.

Summary:
A comfortable fall day with low pollen, moderate air quality, and cooling soil conditions ahead — enjoy it before the chillier mornings arrive later this week.
