About pollen in Sterling Heights

Grass pollen is the main driver in Sterling Heights today, registering moderate (3 on the index) and pushing the overall reading to moderate as well. Tree pollen has dropped to very low (1), which is typical now that spring's oak, birch, and maple flush has long passed. Expect more of the same in the days ahead: grass holds steady at moderate through most of the forecast before easing toward low at the end of the stretch, while tree levels stay flat at very low. This pattern fits the late-spring-into-early-summer window, when grasses dominate the local pollen picture. Weed pollen, including ragweed, is not yet a factor and won't typically ramp up until later in the summer.
