ABC7 News Meteorologist Mike Nicco says a chance of rain over the weekend could bring some relief.

"Allergy sufferers might get a brief break. A chance of rain means a chance of lower pollen levels," said Nicco. "I'm tracking a chance of rain for Sunday into Monday."

Nicco's pollen forecast shows tree pollen including Pine, Oak, Juniper and Cedar are high.

He says the possibility of rain could take the pollen level down briefly.

"Until then, we are seeing moderate amounts of grass," said Nicco. "Mold spores are low."

The UV index is also high.

"Burn time is 20 minutes today if you are not protected by sunscreen," said Nicco.
