What is driving Butte-Silver Bow’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 15 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 19 (Low on its own scale) — about 94% of the four category readings added together, 18.4 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 Montana 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 Butte-Silver Bow, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Montana guide’s account of Montana names sagebrush, flowering late on the dry benches, over a grass summer of timothy, orchard grass, bluegrass and ryegrass — 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 15 to 15, never changing band. Today’s 15 sits level with the window’s average of 15 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Butte-Silver Bow pollen through the year

Chapter by chapter, the Butte-Silver Bow pollen year runs like this:

• River-corridor trees open in late March or April, varying by valley elevation, and run into May.
• Grasses run from May through July with a June crest, when the hay grasses flower together.
• Ragweed, sagebrush, wormwood and pigweed run from August until the first hard frost, typically in October.

The Montana allergy season guide names sagebrush, flowering late on the dry benches, over a grass summer of timothy, orchard grass, bluegrass and ryegrass. Valley inversions in western Montana can hold pollen close to town on still mornings, even under famously big, clean-looking skies. Western valleys run a tree-and-grass calendar shaped by rivers and elevation, while the eastern plains add a stronger wind-blown weed and sagebrush finish.

November falls between the main chapters of the Montana 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 8 months of the Montana year, March to October — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. The full calendar is set out in the Montana allergy season guide.

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Butte-Silver Bow 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.
