About pollen in Yakima

Grass pollen is the main driver in Yakima today, sitting at a moderate level (3) and pushing the overall index to moderate as well. Tree pollen has dropped off to very low (1), in keeping with the season, since the spring tree peak from species like pine, juniper, and cottonwood has largely passed. Weed pollen is not being tracked at the moment, so there's no reading to report on that front. Looking ahead, the forecast holds steady through the next five days, with grass remaining at moderate and tree pollen staying very low. This is typical for late June, when grasses dominate during the late-spring-into-early-summer stretch and ragweed has yet to begin its late-summer rise.
