Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts in the provided data.
- 02 Patchy fog is forecast from about 06:00–09:00 local time and may reduce visibility for morning travel.
- 03 Temperatures remain at or above freezing (mid-30s to upper-40s °F) for the day, so ice/freezing rain risk is low.
- 04 Probability of precipitation is very low (1–5%) and winds are light (1–6 mph).
- 05 Visibility values are not provided in the data, so the exact severity of the fog cannot be quantified (reduces confidence).
Recommendation
Avoid driving during the patchy fog window if possible (06:00–09:00 local time). Safer driving windows today: Morning: 09:00–11:00 AM local time (after fog should dissipate). Evening: 17:00–19:00 (5:00–7:00 PM) local time. If you must drive during the fog, use low speeds, headlights, and increased following distance.
