About pollen in Lincoln
Weed pollen is the main driver of today's conditions in Lincoln, sitting at a moderate level. This is likely to be noticeable if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants, though most people should be able to go about their outdoor plans without much disruption. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to ease slightly tomorrow before ticking back up, then settling into a lower range through the rest of the five-day stretch. This pattern fits the season well, as mid-October marks the tail end of ragweed's run before the first hard frosts typically bring it to a close. With area trees like oak, elm, and cottonwood long dormant for the year and grasses mostly finished as well, weeds remain the one pollen source still worth keeping an eye on this time of year.
