About pollen in Fort Collins
Grass pollen is the main story in Fort Collins today, sitting at a moderate level that sensitive residents will likely notice, especially during outdoor activities in the afternoon. Tree pollen, by contrast, is very low and shouldn't cause much concern right now. Looking ahead, grass pollen is expected to hold at a moderate level for the next couple of days before easing slightly toward the end of the workweek, while tree pollen should stay quiet throughout. This pattern fits the season well: the region's cottonwoods, pines, and other trees finished their heaviest pollen release back in spring, and now grasses are taking center stage through midsummer. Anyone with grass allergies may want to plan outdoor time accordingly, while tree pollen sufferers can expect a bit of a break for now.
