Rain is likely Saturday (64% chance). The hour or two right after it stops is usually the cleanest air of the day. Plan around Sunday though. Pollen often climbs the day after rain, when plants use the moisture to release a fresh burst.

Winds could reach 21 mph Saturday. Gusts carry pollen miles from the plant that released it, so a windy day can feel worse than the count suggests.
