About pollen in New South Memphis
Weed pollen is the main driver of today's high overall count in New South Memphis, with ragweed likely responsible for most of the irritation this time of year. Tree and grass pollen are both at moderate levels, contributing a secondary but noticeable effect for those who react to either. Altogether, sensitive individuals should expect a fairly uncomfortable day, especially outdoors during peak afternoon hours. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to remain high through the next several days before a brief lull, while grass holds steady at a moderate level and tree pollen eases slightly. This pattern fits the season: early fall in Memphis is typically dominated by ragweed and other late-blooming weeds, with lingering contributions from trees like oak and elm that can still release pollen into autumn. Grass pollen, though past its late-spring peak, continues to linger at moderate levels, so those with multiple sensitivities may notice symptoms from more than one source this week.
