Set on rolling pine-forest hills in far East Texas near the Louisiana border, Center's landscape is defined by loblolly pine forest alongside oak-hickory woodlots and pasture grasses, the main contributors to seasonal pollen exposure. This mix of plant life is fairly typical for the wider area around Center. As with most of the region, counts tend to build gradually rather than spike overnight.

How often is the Center pollen forecast updated?

The Center pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.

Does pollen in Center come from nearby or far away?

Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.

Are pollen levels in Center based on measurements or forecasts?

Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.

Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Center, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.

This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
