What is driving Black Hawk’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 12 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 15 (Low on its own scale) — about 93% of the four category readings added together, 14.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. Grass-led totals tend to hold a level for days at a time rather than spike and clear, because grasses pollinate over an extended period. Grass pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the Colorado grass chapter runs May to July — so today’s lead is the model outranking the pattern, and this page reports the modelled reading first.

Plant-level detail is not in today’s feed for Black Hawk, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Colorado guide’s account of Colorado names juniper, arriving ahead of the local tree season, and the ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds of late summer — 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 12 to 12, never changing band. Today’s 12 sits level with the window’s average of 12 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Black Hawk pollen through the year

Three chapters make the Colorado pollen year, and Black Hawk follows them in the Mountain West order. The tree chapter: juniper can arrive in late winter, and the main tree wave builds in spring — as late as April at Denver’s altitude. The grass chapter: grasses follow in a compressed early-summer run. The weed chapter: ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds close the year from late summer.

Altitude compresses Colorado’s season rather than removing it: the waves arrive late — Denver’s tree pollen typically builds in April — and end with early frosts, but they run in a tight sequence. The season ends with the first hard frosts, which stop the late-summer weeds — Denver usually reaches frost in fall, while mountain towns can frost far earlier. The Colorado guide singles out juniper, arriving ahead of the local tree season, and the ragweed and sagebrush-family weeds of late summer.

November falls between the main chapters of the Colorado pollen year — the tail of one and the approach of the next — so the calendar alone explains little today, and the modelled split above carries the story. Between them, the three chapters cover 9 months of the Colorado year, February to October — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. The full calendar is set out in the Colorado allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Black Hawk 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 whatever the month. 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.
