Low Pollen in Nashville, TN

About pollen in Nashville

Grass pollen is the main player in Nashville today, sitting at a low level (index 2) and driving the overall reading, which also lands at low. Tree pollen has dropped off to none, so the Carpinus, oak, zelkova, maple, and ash that dominate the spring season are no longer a factor right now. The forecast keeps grass steady at low for the next few days before easing slightly toward the back end of the window. This pattern fits the calendar, as grass typically holds sway in late spring and early summer once the trees have wound down. Weed pollen is not being tracked at the moment, but ragweed season is still a ways off, generally arriving in late summer.
