Pollen count Lockwood residents check each morning
The Lockwood pollen count today is 21 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 27 today. Weed pollen leads the split at 27 (Low on its own scale), followed by tree pollen at 0.6 and grass 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 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 weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Lockwood 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.

When people ask about Lockwood allergies, this is the number that answers them — one daily index built from today’s tree, grass, weed and mold readings for Lockwood.
Allergies in Lockwood follow the Montana calendar set out below — the chapters, the plants behind them, and the 5-day forecast on this page show whether today is typical for the season or an exception to it. If you are checking allergies today in Lockwood 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 Lockwood allergy forecast: today reads 21 (Low), and the day-by-day outlook shows whether Lockwood 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.
In practice, the allergy count Lockwood today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.
The Lockwood allergy count today is 21 (Low) — the same Total Pollen Index as the pollen count above, in one combined reading.

Pollen by type in Lockwood
What is driving Lockwood’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 21 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 27 (Low on its own scale) — about 96% of the four category readings added together, 26.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. 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 runs against the usual calendar — the Montana weed chapter runs August to October — 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 Lockwood, 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 20 to 21, never changing band. Today’s 21 sits 0 points above the window’s average of 20.6 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Lockwood now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Lockwood were not returned in today\u2019s source data, so this section summarises the pollen types the index above is built from instead of listing individual plants.
Tree pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).
Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 27 (Low).
In the Northern Rockies pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are river-corridor trees, a June grass crest of timothy, orchard grass, bluegrass and ryegrass, and a late sagebrush finish — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.

Lockwood pollen through the year
Three chapters make the Montana pollen year, and Lockwood follows them in the Northern Rockies order. The tree chapter: river-corridor trees open in late March or April, varying by valley elevation, and run into May. The grass chapter: grasses run from May through July with a June crest, when the hay grasses flower together. The weed chapter: ragweed, sagebrush, wormwood and pigweed run from August until the first hard frost, typically in October.
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. The Montana guide singles out sagebrush, flowering late on the dry benches, over a grass summer of timothy, orchard grass, bluegrass and ryegrass.
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 Lockwood 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 Lockwood, MT 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.
Lockwood in today’s national picture
At 21 (Low), Lockwood ranks joint 47143rd of the 90896 cities Pollen Atlas tracks today — in the middle of the national table. The highest reading in the country today is Serpa, Portugal at 53, and the lowest is Galiakberovo, Russia at 5. The whole table spans 48 points today — a wide-open day, when the top and bottom of the table are effectively in different seasons.
Around Lockwood: Huntley, MT (7 miles away) reads 28 (Low); Billings, MT (8 miles away) reads 19 (Low); Shepherd, MT (8 miles away) reads 28 (Low). Lockwood reads 7 points lower than its nearest tracked neighbour today. Across Montana’s 496 tracked cities, today runs from 5 in Missoula to 29 in Sidney.
Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Lockwood resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to. If this pattern finds you every season, allergists in Lockwood, MT can test whether tree, grass, weed or mold is the category that matters for you — the four readings at the top of this page are the starting point for that conversation.
