"It's going to be a great weekend to be outside," said Nicco. "But, there are a couple of things to watch out for, including the pollen. Make sure you are protected from that. The sun is also very strong this time of the year."

Don't forget the sunscreen.

"Especially if you are heading to the beach because you get that reflection off the water," said Nicco.
