Summary

Driving is generally possible on 2026-01-23, with dry roads expected through the day but cold temperatures, strong west/northwest winds, and an active Winter Storm Watch (possible heavy snow later) increasing risk. Wind chill and falling temperatures this afternoon/evening raise the chance of icy spots overnight.

Key Factors
Recommendation

Safer morning driving window: 07:00–09:00 EST (roads likely dry, temperatures near mid-20s to upper-20s, lighter winds). Safer evening driving window: 15:00–17:00 EST (before temperatures fall much more and winds remain gusty); avoid travel after sunset if possible due to rapidly falling temps and higher ice risk. If you must travel, allow extra time, reduce speed for gusty winds, keep emergency supplies and warm clothing in the vehicle, and monitor forecasts/road reports for any storm developments.
