Low Pollen in Alief, TX

About pollen in Alief

Grass pollen is the main player in Alief today, sitting at a low level and driving an overall index that also reads low. Tree pollen registers as none right now, which fits the late-June timing—local allergenic trees like Oak, Elm, Triadica, Ash, and Lagerstroemia tend to do their heaviest work in spring rather than now. Looking ahead, grass holds steady at low for the next couple of days before easing slightly further into the forecast window. This tracks with the late spring through early summer stretch when grass typically leads. Ragweed season is still further off, generally arriving in late summer and fall.
