Today's predominant pollen:Oak, Ash and Cedar/Juniper.

---Technical Discussion---The pollen levels for Saturday will be falling but will remain in the high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this decrease is due in part to falling temperatures, lack of strong winds and expected precipitation in the afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
