About pollen in Broken Arrow
Weed pollen is the dominant force in Broken Arrow today, reaching a level that will be hard for sensitive individuals to ignore. Tree pollen is also running high for this time of year, and grass adds a moderate presence on top of that. Altogether, this makes for a day when those prone to seasonal allergies should expect symptoms to be more pronounced than usual. Looking ahead, weed pollen should ease somewhat over the next couple of days before ticking back up toward the end of the stretch, so relief may be temporary. Tree and grass levels are expected to drop off more steadily through the week. This pattern fits the season well, as ragweed and other late-blooming weeds typically peak in early fall, while lingering tree pollen from species like cedar and elm can still make an appearance even as the region moves past its main spring surge.
