Maximum winds will reach 25 mph Friday afternoon, and gusts hit 35 mph Saturday and Sunday. A breezy stretch is expected next week; 30 mph gusts are anticipated each afternoon Monday through Wednesday, with 25 mph gusts lingering next Thursday.

The air quality forecast is "unhealthy for sensitive groups" today and tomorrow due to ozone.
Forecast pollen levels are "medium" with ragweed, grasses, and oak 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.
