Pollen count Alta residents check each morning
The Alta pollen count today is 15 (Low). No single plant stands out in today’s readings; the Grass category is the one the index is led by. The full split is tree pollen 0.6, grass pollen 19, weed pollen 0.6. Plant-by-plant detail for Alta, WY follows, along with the outlook for the days ahead. 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 grass pollen, reading noticeably higher than the rest, which is why the split is printed on every Alta page.
Outside its main late-spring and early-summer window, grass pollen usually appears as a small background value rather than the driver of the total. A low grass reading alongside a higher weed or mold value is a typical off-peak pattern. Grass should be read from its own value on this page, not assumed from the calendar: the index reports today’s modelled value, and the modelled value outranks any general seasonal expectation.

In practice, the allergy count Alta today records is this same combined reading — tree, grass, weed and mold in one index.

Pollen by type in Alta
What is driving Alta’s pollen today
The shape of today’s 15 (Low) is set by grass pollen at 19 (Low on its own scale) — about 94% of the four category readings added together, 18.4 points clear of the next category, tree pollen at 0.6. Grass-led totals tend to hold a level for days at a time rather than spike and clear, because grasses pollinate over an extended period. Grass pollen leading in November runs against the usual calendar — the Wyoming grass chapter runs June to August — 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 Alta, so the drivers have to be read from the category split above. The Wyoming guide’s account of Wyoming names sagebrush, the state’s signature allergen, flowering from August into October and peaking in September — 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 15 to 16, never changing band. Today’s 15 sits 0 points below the window’s average of 15.4 — a steady window, in which one day reads much like the next.
Plants affecting Alta now
Detailed plant-by-plant readings for 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.
Tree pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).
Grass pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 19 (Low).
Weed pollen is one of the categories with a non-zero reading today, at 0.6 (Low).
In the High Basins pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are river-corridor cottonwood and juniper, brief-summer meadow grasses, and sagebrush flowering late — named here as regional context only, not as today\u2019s measurements.

Alta pollen through the year
Chapter by chapter, the Alta pollen year runs like this:
- Spring is a river-corridor season — cottonwood and juniper from March into May — because most of Wyoming’s trees grow where the water is.
- Meadow and hay grasses carry the brief summer, from June into August.
- Sagebrush flowers from August into October and peaks in September, and the first hard frost ends it.
The Wyoming allergy season guide names sagebrush, the state’s signature allergen, flowering from August into October and peaking in September. Spring is a river-corridor season — cottonwood and juniper from March into May — because most of Wyoming’s trees grow where the water is. Wind is a season-maker here: pollen routinely arrives from far beyond the local landscape, so a town’s bad day may be grown a basin away.
November falls between the main chapters of the Wyoming 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 Wyoming year, March to October — a compressed season, which is why its chapters arrive in quick succession. The full calendar is set out in the Wyoming allergy season guide.
How to read this index
Pollen Atlas reports the 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 whatever the month. 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.

Pollen totals are population numbers; symptoms are personal. The same reading can leave one Alta resident untouched and floor another, depending on which pollens they are sensitised to.
