Key Factors
- 01 Dense Fog Advisory in effect until 10:00 AM EST with visibility one quarter mile or less, making early-morning driving hazardous
- 02 Widespread fog through 10 AM with high humidity (89-96%) reinforcing low-visibility risk
- 03 Rain becomes likely midday and steady/heavy in the afternoon-evening (86-91% chance from 4-6 PM), with wet roads reducing traction
- 04 Temperatures stay above freezing (36-42F) during the day, so ice is not a major concern, though overnight low near 34F approaches freezing
- 05 Winds are calm (0-2 mph), so crosswind risk is negligible
- 06 Patchy fog redevelops in the evening (after 8 PM) and overnight

Recommendation
Avoid driving before 10 AM due to the Dense Fog Advisory; if you must, slow down, use low-beam headlights, and increase following distance. Safer morning window is roughly 10:00-11:00 AM after the fog lifts. In the evening, drive before the heaviest rain or after it eases—aim for around 7:00-8:00 PM, but watch for patchy fog returning after 8 PM. Overall, drive cautiously on wet roads all day.
