Tar Heel Grass Pollen Count: 5-Day Forecast

Pollen Atlas models the daily detail as an overall index: day-by-day splits by individual pollen type are not part of the modelled data, so this table shows Tar Heel’s overall trend across the week. Today’s grass pollen reading is the headline above.

Species driving Tar Heel’s grass pollen

The modelled data reports grass as one combined index — there is no species-by-species split for grass anywhere in the data, so this page does not invent one. Today’s modelled grass index for Tar Heel is 3 (Low), and the 5-day overall trend above shows the shape of the week.

As regional context only — not as today’s readings — in the Southeast pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees, warm-season grasses and late-summer ragweed.

The North Carolina allergy season guide singles out oak-family pollens — not the visible pine dust, which is a weak allergen flowering in the same weeks.
