High Pollen in New South Memphis, TN

About pollen in New South Memphis

Weed pollen is driving conditions in New South Memphis today, with levels running high and likely noticeable for anyone sensitive to ragweed. Tree and grass pollen remain in the low range, so they shouldn't add much to the mix. For most people, today's main source of irritation will be weed pollen, and those who react strongly to it may want to plan outdoor time with that in mind. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to ease slightly over the next couple of days before climbing back to high levels by midweek, so sensitive individuals should expect conditions to remain challenging on and off through the period. Tree pollen should stay quiet throughout, consistent with the season, since oak, maple, and other regional trees have long finished their spring release. Grass pollen will likely hover at low levels with a slight uptick later in the forecast. This pattern fits typical early-fall conditions in the Mid-South, when ragweed and related weeds are the dominant allergy concern until the first hard frost brings relief.
