The line will run from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

4. Friday's ultraviolet index level will be 11, according to the National Weather Service. The reading is indicative of what the ultraviolet exposure will be at noon when the sun's rays are at their peak. A high level of 10 or more can lead to sun damage especially if skin is unprotected.
