So how did we measure up?
Don't forget the sunscreen if you're out enjoying the weather; the UV index is "high" from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (sunburn in 30 minutes). Sunscreen, a broad hat, and light-colored, lightweight clothing are smart if you're outside for any length of time between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
The forecast pollen levels are "medium" today and tomorrow, with ragweed, chenopods, and sagebrush listed as the predominant pollen types, but slight relief is possible midweek as levels drop to the "low-medium" category.
The air quality forecast is "good" the next couple days.
