Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts for the date.
- 02 Daytime temps mostly 38–50°F (above freezing), minimizing ice risk.
- 03 Hourly probabilities of precipitation during daytime are low (≈11–19%), with only slight chance/light rain.
- 04 Winds are light (1–5 mph) so crosswind risk is minimal.
- 05 Overnight (starting 2026-01-14 18:00 -05:00) forecast shows a lower temperature (~31°F) and higher precipitation probability (~55%) with possible rain/snow mix — increased risk after evening.
Recommendation
Driving during the daytime (through about 18:00 local time) is generally fine; drive cautiously in any light rain (reduce speed, increase following distance). If possible, avoid nonessential travel from 2026-01-14 18:00 -05:00 through the overnight hours (into 2026-01-15) because temperatures fall to near/below freezing and precipitation chances increase (rain/snow mix possible).
