About pollen in Paterson

Grass pollen is the main driver in Paterson today, holding at a moderate level (3) and pushing the overall index to moderate as well. Tree pollen has dropped to very low (1), so the season's earlier oak, birch, and maple contributions have largely faded. The forecast keeps grass in the moderate range over the next couple of days before easing slightly to a 2, then ticking back up to moderate by the end of the window. This pattern fits the time of year, as late spring and early summer is typically when grass pollen runs highest while tree pollen winds down. Ragweed and other weeds aren't reflected here, since no weed data is available for this period.
