Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts for the forecast date
- 02 Temperatures at or below freezing 6-9am (30-32F) with high humidity (81-88%), allowing patchy ice or frost on bridges and untreated pavement
- 03 Very low precipitation chance during the day (0-12%), with less than half an inch of snow accumulation possible
- 04 Light winds 2-7 mph NE/S, no crosswind or high-profile vehicle risk
- 05 Wind chill values as low as 23F, but no impact on road traction
- 06 Temperatures fall back to 32-34F after 9pm; slight chance of rain and snow showers after 1am (20%) could create refreeze risk overnight
- 07 No visibility or fog data provided, so early-morning visibility cannot be confirmed

Recommendation
Driving is fine today with normal winter caution. Best morning window is 10:00am-12:00pm once temperatures rise above freezing and skies clear to partly sunny. Best evening window is 5:00pm-8:00pm while temperatures are still 35-38F and precipitation chances are near zero. Use extra care before 9am on bridges and shaded roads, and after 11pm as temperatures return to freezing ahead of possible overnight rain/snow showers.
