About pollen in Sacramento

Grass pollen is the main driver in Sacramento today, sitting at a moderate level (3) and pushing the overall index to the same moderate reading. Tree pollen is low (2) right now, with the area's usual contributors like oak, plane, zelkova, ash, and maple having largely moved past their spring peak. The grass forecast eases slightly over the next several days, slipping from 3 to a steady 2, so conditions should trend a bit lower rather than higher. This fits the season, as grass typically runs strongest through late spring and into early summer. Ragweed and other weed pollen aren't reported here yet, but those usually become a factor later in the summer and into fall.
