About pollen in Merced

Grass pollen is the main driver in Merced today, sitting at a moderate level (3) and pushing the overall index to moderate as well. The forecast points to a modest easing ahead, with grass slipping to a 2 tomorrow and holding there through the rest of the five-day window. This fits the season, as grass pollen tends to dominate in late spring and early summer once the spring tree surge has passed. No data is available for tree or weed pollen right now, so today's picture is built around grass alone. Ragweed and other weeds typically become more of a factor later in summer and into fall, so they aren't shaping conditions at this point.
