Pollen count Nortonville residents check each morning
The Nortonville pollen count today is 16 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 20 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 20 (Low on its own scale), followed by grass pollen at 2 and tree pollen at 0.6. Below, the plant detail and the multi-day outlook show whether today is the pattern or the exception. 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 Nortonville 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 Nortonville
What is driving Nortonville’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 16 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 20 (Low on its own scale) — about 88% of the four category readings added together, 18 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 Kentucky calendar working as expected — November falls in the closing weeks of the state’s weed chapter.
In the plant detail, Ragweed (weed) carries the strongest single plant reading, at a Universal Pollen Index of 1 (Very Low). None of the plants in today’s detail is one of the state guide’s signature names for Kentucky — a single day’s detail and a season’s pattern are different lenses, and both are printed on this page for that reason.
Across the five-day window the Total Pollen Index runs from 7 to 16, never changing band. Today’s 16 sits 2 points above the window’s average of 13.6 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.

Nortonville pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Kentucky pollen year, and Nortonville follows them in the Southeast order. The tree chapter: trees can start as early as February and peak in April. The grass chapter: grasses follow in May and run through the summer. The weed chapter: ragweed runs from mid-August to the first frost. Mold is the quiet fourth player, sustained by river-valley humidity between the pollen waves.
Kentucky runs along a diagonal: the eastern mountains run the shortest season and close first, while the far west runs warmest and longest, and Ohio River bottoms hold the moisture that keeps mold in the count. Kentucky bluegrass anchors the grass act, and tall fescue covers even more acreage, stretching the grass calendar on both ends. The Kentucky guide singles out Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue — grass is the state’s signature act.
November in Nortonville sits inside the weed chapter of the Kentucky 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 Kentucky year, February to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the Kentucky allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Nortonville 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 Nortonville, KY 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.
