Key Factors
- 01 No active alerts in the provided data.
- 02 Daytime precipitation probabilities are very low (0–9%) and winds are light (0–6 mph).
- 03 Temperatures rise above freezing by mid/late morning (around 37–41°F from ~10:00–16:00), reducing risk of icy roads during the day.
- 04 Snow is forecast to begin after 8:00 PM with probabilities rising to ~70% and new snow accumulation of 1–2 inches possible (daily period).
- 05 Temperatures drop to around 32–33°F late evening, increasing the chance that falling precipitation will accumulate and create slippery/icy surfaces overnight.

Recommendation
Safer morning slot: 2026-02-15T10:00:00-05:00 to 2026-02-15T12:00:00-05:00 (late morning when temperatures are above freezing and precipitation chance is minimal). Safer evening slot: 2026-02-15T17:00:00-05:00 to 2026-02-15T19:00:00-05:00 (early evening before snow likely begins). Avoid driving after 2026-02-15T20:00:00-05:00 to 2026-02-16T00:00:00-05:00 when snow is likely and roads may become slippery.
