Trajectory weather: The air mass trajectories from
the
OUTLOOK: *** Low Threat today*** unfavorable conditions for pollen release. Clearing conditions but with cold temperatures results in unfavorable conditions for pollen release today. In addition the trajectories show poor characteristics for pollen entrainment and travel away from the source. With the lack of pollen to entrain there is a low threat to any downwind communities. Conditions will remain marginal tomorrow with slightly warmer temperatures but cloudy conditions and increased humidity.
