About pollen in Salem
Weed pollen is the only category showing any activity in Salem today, and even that is running very low. Most people, including those who typically react to ragweed and other late-season weeds, should notice little to no irritation. Overall, this is a quiet day for allergy sufferers across the board. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady, with weed pollen staying at this same low level through the next several days. This lines up with the season, as early fall marks the tail end of ragweed's typical run in the Willamette Valley, and the more prominent culprits of spring, like alder, birch, and oak, are long finished releasing pollen for the year. Grass pollen has also wound down from its late spring peak, so overall pollen exposure in the area should remain minimal for now.
