Pollen count Valley Springs residents check each morning
The Valley Springs pollen count today is 17 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 22 today. That total sits on a narrow base: weed pollen is 22 while tree pollen is just 0.6 and grass pollen 2. Plant-by-plant detail for Valley Springs, AR follows, along with the outlook for the days ahead. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
A Low band on the Pollen Atlas index means the Total Pollen Index has stayed in the lower part of the 0–100 scale. Readings in this band are built from low individual category values rather than from one large spike, and the category split above matters more than the headline number: a low total can still contain one category, such as weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Valley Springs page.
Fall is ragweed season across most of the United States: ragweed plants release pollen from late summer into autumn, and weed pollen is typically the last major outdoor pollen category to fade as the weather cools. That pattern is why an autumn total is so often weed-led even when the headline number is low — tree and grass pollen have usually receded by then, leaving weed pollen, and on damp days mold, to make up most of what the index records.

Pollen by type in Valley Springs
What is driving Valley Springs’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 17 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 22 (Low on its own scale) — about 89% of the four category readings added together, 20 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 Valley Springs, 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 19, never changing band. Today’s 17 sits 0 points above the window’s average of 16.6 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Valley Springs pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the Valley Springs 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 Valley Springs 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 Valley Springs 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 Valley Springs, 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.
