Hot sunny days are just perfect for ragweed. That reflects our pollen count today. The large amount ragweed pollens are pollinating and releasing into the air now. That is not good news for ragweed allergic persons. But mold counts are in low range. The ozone in K.C. area is on good level today (GREEN) according to MARC SkyCast (www.marc.gov).
