Moderate Pollen in Longview, TX

About pollen in Longview

Tree pollen is the main driver of today's high overall count in Longview, and it is likely to be the most noticeable for anyone sensitive to it. Grass and weed pollen are both running at moderate levels, adding to the overall load, so those with allergies to multiple pollen types may feel the effects stacking up throughout the day. Looking ahead, tree pollen should stay elevated for one more day before dropping off sharply and settling into a much quieter pattern through the rest of the forecast period. Grass pollen follows a similar pattern, easing before ticking back up toward the end of the stretch, while weed pollen remains moderate throughout with a slight rise expected later on. This mix is a bit unusual for late September, when weeds like ragweed typically take center stage as trees go dormant for the season — the lingering tree activity, likely from lateflowering species in the region such as cedar elm or juniper, is worth keeping in mind if symptoms feel more persistent than expected this time of year.
