Key Factors
- 01 No active alerts in the provided data.
- 02 Precipitation probability is low (hourly peaks ~12% early) and the daily forecast calls for new snow accumulation of less than 0.5 inch.
- 03 Temperatures are near or below freezing early (around 30–32°F between 06:00–09:00), which increases the chance of patchy black ice if any moisture is present.
- 04 Winds are light (2–7 mph), so wind is not a significant hazard.
- 05 Visibility data is not provided in the input, so there is uncertainty about any fog or reduced-visibility issues.
Recommendation
Safer driving windows (local time, -05:00): Morning: 10:00–12:00 — temperatures rise above freezing and precipitation chances drop to ~0%. Evening: 17:00–19:00 — temperatures remain near/just above freezing with very low precipitation chances. Avoid travel if possible from about 06:00–09:00 when temperatures are near freezing and patchy slick spots are most likely.
