After morning storms move out of the area, skies will start to clear into partly cloudy conditions, allowing the sun to make direct contact with exposed skin, giving us a UV index of 10. With this index, it only takes 10-15 minutes of exposure without the protection of SPF 50 sunscreen or higher to receive a sunburn.

As we start to dry out through the rest of the week, pollen levels will be staying at a medium ranking.
