Local Environmental Conditions
In Town of Sterling, the riverbank shelters hazel and willow, two trees whose pollen travels readily on the breeze, within easy reach. Here, nearby, a nearby park's turf and ornamental trees layer grass and ragweed pollen onto the seasonal mix. As with most local readings, actual levels can vary somewhat with short-term weather swings.
At Town of Sterling, water-edge hazel and willow are usually the first allergenic trees active here, topping out well before most other trees start releasing pollen, around February and March. Grass pollen becomes the dominant allergen through late spring, peaking in June, before ragweed takes over as the dominant allergen from mid-August through October.

Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
