Species driving Wake Forest’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 Wake Forest is 0.6 (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.
