Key Factors
- 01 Active Dense Fog Advisory until 10:00 AM EST; alert notes visibility 1/4 mile or less and hazardous driving impacts.
- 02 Hourly forecast shows widespread fog from 6–10 AM, consistent with very low visibility risk.
- 03 Rain likely/ongoing much of the afternoon and early evening (precipitation chances peaking ~86–91% from 4–7 PM), creating wet/possibly slick roads and longer braking distances.
- 04 Patchy fog indicated during the evening/night (notably around 8 PM and again near 11 PM), adding renewed visibility risk.
- 05 Temperatures near the mid/upper 30s to low 40s F; no explicit freezing rain/snow is shown, but visibility hazards dominate (visibility values not provided).

Recommendation
Avoid driving 6:00–10:00 AM EST due to dense fog. If you must drive, the relatively safer morning window is 11:00 AM–1:00 PM EST (after the fog advisory ends), though light rain remains possible. For evening travel, the relatively safer window is 8:30–10:30 PM EST when rain chances drop to slight (about 20–24%), but watch for patchy fog developing around 8 PM and later at night; slow down and allow extra following distance.
