Allergies in Cotter follow the Arkansas calendar set out below — the chapters, the plants behind them, and the 5-day forecast on this page show whether today is typical for the season or an exception to it. If you are checking allergies today in Cotter before heading outdoors, the split at the top of this page is the part to read: it shows which pollen is doing the work today, not just how high the total sits.

What is driving Cotter’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 13 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 17 (Low on its own scale) — about 87% of the four category readings added together, 15 points clear of the next category, grass pollen at 2. A weed-led total is the classic late-year shape: tree and grass pollen have usually receded, leaving weed pollen — and on damp days mold — to make up most of what the index records. Weed pollen leading in November is the Arkansas calendar working as expected — November falls in the closing weeks of the state’s weed chapter.

Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Cotter, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Arkansas guide’s account of Arkansas names eastern redcedar — a juniper — in late winter, then oak and hickory through spring — the pollens behind readings of this shape in this state — and the split shows how much of today’s total each category is actually carrying.

Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 13 to 13, never changing band. Today’s 13 sits level with the window’s average of 13 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Cotter pollen through the year

Chapter by chapter, the Cotter pollen year runs like this:

• Trees can start as early as February and peak in April.
• Grasses follow in May and run through the summer.
• Ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost.
• Mold is the quiet fourth player, sustained by river-valley humidity between the pollen waves.

The Arkansas allergy season guide names eastern redcedar — a juniper — in late winter, then oak and hickory through spring. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s 2025 Allergy Capitals list placed Little Rock sixth in the nation and Fayetteville also in the top forty, on pollen, medicine use and specialist measures combined. The state’s certified counting stations sit in Little Rock and Fort Smith, and they record the state’s signature double peak — a hardwood spring and a ragweed fall.

November in Cotter sits inside the weed chapter of the Arkansas year, in its closing weeks — the part of the calendar today’s readings should be judged against. Between them, the three chapters cover 10 months of the Arkansas year, February to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the Arkansas allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Cotter pollen count on a Total Pollen Index from 0 to 100, built from separate tree, grass and weed readings. The total is a summary, not an average of the three: a single strong category can lift it, and three quiet categories can hold it down even in a month when Cotter, AR pollen is usually more active. Index values are a modelled pollen risk index computed by Pollen Atlas from open weather, vegetation and phenology data, calibrated against CDC/NAB season data, with plant detail by the Google Pollen API. The index is a modelled 0–100 scale, not a measured count, and figures update through the day, so a morning and an evening visit to this page can legitimately show different numbers.
