About pollen in Spokane Valley
Weed pollen is the main story in Spokane Valley today, sitting at a moderate level that could be noticeable for those who are sensitive. Tree pollen is quiet, so any irritation you notice is most likely coming from weeds rather than trees this time of year. Looking ahead, weed pollen is expected to climb from moderate to high over the next several days and stay elevated, so allergy sufferers may want to be a bit more prepared as the week goes on. This tracks with the season, as mid-August is prime time for weeds like ragweed to become more active, while familiar local trees such as birch, cedar, and pine have already finished their spring pollen push and remain dormant for now.
