About pollen in Edison

Grass pollen is the main driver in Edison today, sitting at a moderate level (3) and pushing the overall index to moderate as well. Tree and weed pollen aren't being measured, so grass is what's shaping conditions right now. The forecast holds steady, with grass staying at moderate (3) across all five days ahead, so don't expect much change in the near term. That tracks with the season, as grasses tend to dominate through late spring and into early summer, well after the spring tree-pollen surge from species like oak, birch, and maple has faded. Ragweed and other weeds typically pick up later in the summer and fall, so they're not a factor at this point.
