Rowan County Pollen Forecast Update: High Levels Continue

Monday, March 23, 2026 - 7:55am

Pollen levels remain HIGH across Rowan County, with little relief expected over the next couple of days.

Current Pollen Levels

  • Today: 11.6 (High)
  • Tomorrow: 10.6 (High)

Even with a slight decrease tomorrow, pollen levels will remain firmly in the high category, continuing to impact allergy sufferers across the area.

What’s Driving the High Pollen?

Tree pollen remains the dominant allergen right now, especially:

  • Oak
  • Juniper
  • Poplar

These trees are currently in peak bloom, releasing large amounts of pollen into the air—especially with today’s gusty winds and dry conditions, which help spread pollen more easily.

What to Expect

  • Persistent allergy symptoms including sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion
  • Pollen accumulation on vehicles and outdoor surfaces
  • Little relief through at least midweek

Looking Ahead

Relief will remain limited over the next couple of days, but rain chances later this week could help reduce pollen levels somewhat heading into the weekend.

Bottom Line

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, the next couple of days will be challenging, with high pollen levels continuing across Rowan County.
