What is driving Glen Fork’s pollen today

The shape of today’s 12 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 16 (Low on its own scale) — about 93% of the four category readings added together, 15.4 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 West Virginia 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 Glen Fork, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The West Virginia guide’s account of West Virginia names oak and hickory, dominating April and May, after maple and birch open in March — 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 11 to 12, never changing band. Today’s 12 sits 0 points above the window’s average of 11.8 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.

Glen Fork pollen through the year

Three chapters make the West Virginia pollen year, and Glen Fork follows them in the Northeast order. The tree chapter: trees open in late March and build to an oak-led peak in May. The grass chapter: grasses hold from late May into July. The weed chapter: ragweed builds from mid-August, peaks in September, and is ended by the first hard frost. Mold tracks the region’s humidity rather than a flowering calendar, and it fills the gaps between chapters.

West Virginia’s cities all sit in narrow river valleys, where ridges hem in the air and spring pollen settles over neighborhoods instead of dispersing. In February 2023, a visible powder settling on cars across the Eastern Panhandle was sampled by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection and found to be predominantly pollen — an early-season release heavy enough to see. The West Virginia guide singles out oak and hickory, dominating April and May, after maple and birch open in March.

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

How to read this index

Pollen Atlas reports the Glen Fork 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 Glen Fork, WV 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.
