Rain is likely Sunday (87% chance). The hour or two right after it stops is usually the cleanest air of the day. Plan around Monday though. Pollen often climbs the day after rain, when plants use the moisture to release a fresh burst.

Winds could reach 25 mph Sunday. Gusts carry pollen miles from the plant that released it, so a windy day can feel worse than the count suggests.
