Driving is generally possible today but exercise caution. A Cold Weather Advisory through 10:00 AM EST with very low wind chills and gusty north winds creates increased risk if you become stranded and may affect high‑profile vehicles.
- 01 Cold Weather Advisory in effect until 10:00 AM EST with wind chill values reported as low as about -13°F (advisory text) and daily wind chill guidance down to -8°F — prolonged exposure risks hypothermia/frostbite.
- 02 Sustained north winds 14–16 mph in the morning with gusts reported up to 32 mph — gusts can affect vehicle control, especially for trucks, trailers, and high‑profile vehicles.
- 03 No precipitation is forecast (probability of precipitation 0%), so no new snow/ice is expected today according to the provided data; however, extremely cold air increases consequences if stranded.
Avoid unnecessary travel before 10:00 AM EST while the Cold Weather Advisory is in effect. If you must drive: leave extra time, reduce speed, allow greater following distance, secure cargo, and be mindful of strong gusts (may affect steering for high‑profile vehicles). Carry warm clothing/blankets, phone charger, food/water, and an emergency kit in case of a breakdown. Check tires and battery before departure. Expect bitter cold to persist through the day (temperatures in the single digits to low 20s), so minimize exposure if you must stop or work outside.
