Low Pollen in Elizabeth, NJ

About pollen in Elizabeth

Weed pollen is the main contributor to today's mild conditions in Elizabeth, though it remains at a level most people won't notice much. Tree pollen is nearly absent, so overall the air is calm and should pose little trouble even for those with sensitivities. Looking ahead, this quiet pattern is expected to hold through the next several days, with weed pollen staying low and ticking up only slightly at times, and tree pollen remaining minimal throughout. This lull fits the season, as trees like maple, ash, oak, plane, and honeylocust finished their release months ago, and the next real shift to watch for is the gradual rise of ragweed as late summer moves toward fall.
