About pollen in Winston-Salem

Pollen levels in Winston-Salem are low today, with weeds edging out tree pollen as the main source in the air. Tree activity is nearly absent this week, while weed pollen sits at a mild level that most people won't notice much, though those with stronger sensitivities may feel a slight effect. Looking ahead, this pattern is expected to hold steady over the next several days, with tree pollen staying minimal and weeds remaining at a low, steady level. This is typical for mid-August in the region, as oaks, maples, and other trees are long past their spring peak, while ragweed and other late-summer weeds begin their gradual rise toward the more active fall season.
