About pollen in Salt Lake City

Grass pollen is the main driver in Salt Lake City today, sitting at a moderate level (3) and pushing the overall index to moderate as well. Tree pollen has dropped to very low (1), which is typical now that the spring peak from species like juniper, cottonwood, and box elder has passed. The five-day outlook shows little change ahead, with grass holding steady at moderate and tree counts remaining minimal throughout. This pattern fits the season, as grasses tend to dominate through late spring and early summer. Weed pollen data isn't available today, though ragweed generally doesn't ramp up until later in the summer and fall.
