Pollen count Terra Alta residents check each morning
The Terra Alta pollen count today is 11 (Low). The main driver is Ragweed, with weed pollen at 11 today. The full split is tree pollen 0.6, grass pollen 0.6, weed pollen 11. 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 Sunday, November 8, 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 Terra Alta 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 Northeast, autumn weed pollen typically winds down as colder nights arrive, so late-season totals can change quickly from week to week.

Pollen by type in Terra Alta
What is driving Terra Alta’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 11 (Low) is set by weed pollen at 11 (Low on its own scale) — about 90% of the four category readings added together, 10.4 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 Terra Alta, 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 5 to 11, never changing band. Today’s 11 sits 2 points above the window’s average of 9.4 — a moving window, worth reading day by day rather than from the average.
Plants affecting Terra Alta now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for Terra Alta 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.

Terra Alta pollen through the year
The Terra Alta pollen year runs in chapters, set by the Northeast pattern and the West Virginia calendar. Trees come first: trees open in late March and build to an oak-led peak in May. Grasses take the middle of the year: grasses hold from late May into July. Weeds close it out: 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.
The West Virginia allergy season guide names oak and hickory, dominating April and May, after maple and birch open in March. 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.
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 Terra Alta 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 Terra Alta, 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.
