About pollen in Sparks

Grass pollen is the main driver in Sparks today, sitting at a moderate level and pushing the overall index to moderate as well. Tree pollen has dropped off to very low, which is typical now that the spring surge from regional species like juniper, cottonwood, and ash has faded. The five-day outlook holds steady, with grass expected to stay at moderate and tree pollen flat at very low throughout. This tracks with the season, as grasses tend to peak in late spring and early summer across the high desert. Weed pollen data isn't available right now, though ragweed generally doesn't become a factor until later in the summer and fall.
