Pollen count Ralston residents check each morning
The Ralston pollen count today is 20 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 25 today. The full split is tree pollen 2, grass pollen 4, weed pollen 25. 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 weed pollen or mold, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Ralston 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. In the Plains and around the Great Lakes, ragweed is a familiar late-season plant of open ground, field edges and disturbed soil, which is why it so often leads inland autumn readings.

Pollen by type in Ralston
What is driving Ralston’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 20 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 25 (Low on its own scale) — about 81% of the four category readings added together, 21 points clear of the next category, grass pollen at 4. 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 Oklahoma 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 Ralston, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Oklahoma guide’s account of Oklahoma names ragweed, whose August-to-frost run regularly tops the fall rankings — 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 18 to 20, never changing band. Today’s 20 sits 0 points above the window’s average of 19.6 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Ralston now

Ralston pollen through the year
The Ralston pollen year runs in chapters, set by the South-Central Plains pattern and the Oklahoma calendar. Trees come first: river-corridor trees open from February — elm and maple first, then oak and hickory. Grasses take the middle of the year: prairie grasses take over in late May and hold the summer. Weeds close it out: ragweed builds from mid-August to the first hard frost, carried county to county by plains wind. Mold shares the long middle of the year, fed by river-bottom humidity.
The Oklahoma allergy season guide names ragweed, whose August-to-frost run regularly tops the fall rankings. Oklahoma’s season is a relay — trees from February to May, grasses from May to August, ragweed to the first frost — with a mountain cedar influence reaching the south of the state in winter. Pollen Atlas data shows Tulsa regularly topping the fall rankings when ragweed peaks, with Oklahoma City and Wichita often climbing the same rankings in the same weeks.
November falls between the main chapters of the Oklahoma 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 9 months of the Oklahoma year, February to October — leaving a quiet gap of roughly 3 months in the depth of the off-season. The full calendar is set out in the Oklahoma allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the Ralston 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 Ralston, OK 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.
