Moderate Pollen in Fayetteville, AR

About pollen in Fayetteville

Weed pollen is the main contributor to today's moderate conditions in Fayetteville, with ragweed the likely culprit this time of year. Those sensitive to weed pollen may notice some effects outdoors, while tree and grass pollen remain minimal and are unlikely to cause much trouble right now. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to hold steady at a moderate level through the next several days, so anyone affected should anticipate similar conditions into the week ahead. Tree and grass pollen should stay quiet, which fits the season — oak, maple, and other regional trees won't become active again until spring, and grasses typically wait until late spring or early summer to pick up. For now, ragweed remains the pollen type most worth keeping in mind as fall continues.
