High Pollen in Little Rock, AR

About pollen in Little Rock

Weed pollen is the main driver of today's conditions in Little Rock, running high and likely to cause noticeable discomfort for those with sensitivities. Grass pollen adds to the mix at a moderate level, while tree pollen remains low and should not be much of a concern right now. Looking ahead, weed and grass levels are expected to hold steady over the next couple of days before dropping off sharply toward the end of the stretch, with tree pollen staying low throughout and eventually fading as well. This pattern fits the season: with autumn underway, ragweed and other late-season weeds are typically the dominant source of pollen in the region, while oak, pine, and other common area trees remain largely dormant until their release next spring.

• When driving the car, close your windows and turn the air conditioning system to recirculation mode.
