Moderate Pollen in Arvada, CO

About pollen in Arvada

Grass pollen is the main driver in Arvada today, sitting at a moderate level on the Universal Pollen Index, while tree pollen has dropped to very low. The five-day forecast holds grass steady at moderate throughout, so expect little change in the days ahead. Tree pollen is also projected to stay very low, which fits the late-spring-into-summer pattern when the local trees like Pine, Ash, Cottonwood, Picea, and Elm have largely finished their main release. Grass is the typical late-spring and early-summer player, and that's reflected in today's reading. Weed pollen data isn't available at this time.
