Low Pollen in Arlington, TX

About pollen in Arlington

Weed pollen is the only real presence in Arlington today, and it remains at a low level, so most people should get through the day without much irritation. Tree pollen is absent entirely, which is expected for mid-November, and overall conditions are mild enough that sensitive individuals are unlikely to notice much beyond perhaps a mild response to the lingering weeds. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to stay low through the next several days, dipping slightly before another small uptick, but nothing that points to a significant change in conditions. Tree pollen should remain quiet through this stretch, as area trees like hickory, oak, elm, cercis, and liquidambar are dormant this time of year and won't become active again until spring. This is typical for late fall, when weed pollen tends to be the main lingering presence before winter brings a broader seasonal lull.
