About pollen in Independence

Grass pollen is the main player in Independence today, sitting at a Low level on the Universal Pollen Index alongside an overall reading of Low. There's no data available for tree or weed pollen at the moment, so grass is the only measured driver. The forecast holds steady, with grass staying at Low through the next five days and no expected jump or drop. This fits the season, as grass pollen tends to dominate through late spring and early summer while the spring tree surge fades. Ragweed and other weeds typically don't ramp up until later in the summer, so the weed picture should stay quiet for now.
