Pollen count Lucedale residents check each morning

The Lucedale pollen count today is 16 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 16 today. Tree pollen is the highest single category in the split at 18 (Low), ahead of weed pollen at 16 and grass pollen at 4. The sections below break that headline number down by plant, by day and by what the band means in practice. Pollen Atlas updated this count on Friday, November 6, 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 tree pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Lucedale 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.

This is the pollen count Lucedale residents check each morning, built from the day’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings.

If you are checking allergies today in Lucedale 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.

Read the five-day table on this page as the Lucedale allergy forecast: today reads 16 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Lucedale allergies are set to ease or build across the week — the days to plan outdoor time around are the ones where the index steps down, not just today.

Pollen by type in Lucedale

What is driving Lucedale’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 16 (Low) is set by tree pollen at 18 (Low on its own scale) — about 47% of the four category readings added together, 2 points clear of the next category, weed pollen at 16. Tree readings are the fastest-moving of the four in their season, because species pollinate in sequence — a tree-led total can change character within a week. Tree pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the Mississippi tree chapter runs February to May — 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 Lucedale, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Mississippi guide’s account of Mississippi names oak, pine and hickory in spring — the famous yellow pine dust is highly visible but only part of the spring story — 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 14 to 17, never changing band. Today’s 16 sits 0 points above the window’s average of 15.6 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Lucedale pollen through the year

The Lucedale pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Southeast pattern and the Mississippi calendar. Trees come first: trees can start as early as February and peak in April. Grasses take the middle of the year: grasses follow in May and run through the summer. Weeds close it out: 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 Mississippi allergy season guide names oak, pine and hickory in spring — the famous yellow pine dust is highly visible but only part of the spring story. Mississippi’s outdoor season can begin with tree pollen in February and stretch into November, among the longest runs anywhere in the United States. The University of Mississippi Medical Center notes that tree pollen has historically posed its biggest threat from early March through April, with grasses following from May into July and ragweed from September through October.

November in Lucedale sits inside the weed chapter of the Mississippi 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 Mississippi year, February to November — a long season by national standards, with only a short quiet gap. The full calendar is set out in the Mississippi allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Lucedale 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 Lucedale, MS 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.
