We've seen 10-20 mph south breezes the last few days, and that continues into the weekend. Sunday and Monday deliver more organized afternoon winds at 15-25 mph.
Sun protection is still advised between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.; a hat, light-colored clothing, and sunscreen are important when you're outside. The UV index is strong enough between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. that a sunburn can happen in just 15 minutes.
Forecast pollen levels are "moderate" this week with ragweed, grass, and sagebrush listed as the predominant pollen types. Showering and changing after you've been outdoors, keeping windows closed when it's windy, and vacuuming and dusting often will help battle symptoms, in addition to taking allergy medication.
The air quality forecast is "moderate" today and tomorrow on account of ozone.
