Low Pollen in Omaha, NE

About pollen in Omaha

Weed pollen is the main story in Omaha today, though it remains at a low level that most people won't find bothersome. Tree pollen is essentially a non-factor right now, sitting at a very low level. Overall, this is a mild day for allergy sufferers, with only those especially sensitive to weeds likely to notice any effect. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to tick up slightly over the next several days, moving from low into a more moderate range that could be noticeable for people with weed sensitivities. This lines up with the season, as late summer in the region typically brings ragweed to the forefront while tree pollen from species like oak, maple, and elm stays quiet until next spring. Tree levels should hold steady at low readings through the rest of the week, so weeds remain the one to keep an eye on as we move deeper into August.
