Even with rain on the way, Mid-Missouri will still observe direct sunlight throughout the day, giving us a UV Index of 9. This means that without sunscreen of SPF 50 or higher, it will only take 15-25 minutes on average to receive a sunburn.

With some help from rain, pollen levels are staying at a medium rating through the weekend.
