About pollen in Columbia
Grass pollen is the main story in Columbia today, and it's holding at a low level. Most people should be able to go about their outdoor plans without much trouble, though those who are especially sensitive to grass may notice mild symptoms during peak afternoon hours. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to ease slightly over the next several days, dipping from low to even lower levels by midweek. This lines up with the seasonal pattern for the Midlands, where grass pollen tends to linger into early summer before quieting down. Tree pollen from oaks, pines, and other regional species had its peak back in spring, and ragweed season won't ramp up until late summer into fall, so for now grass remains the primary pollen to keep in mind.
