Key Factors
- 01 Widespread rain expected 06:00–18:00 (daily PoP 100%; hourly PoP peaks 97–100% 07:00–10:00), leading to wet roads and reduced traction.
- 02 Patchy fog noted in the daytime forecast, creating potential visibility issues (no visibility values provided, so severity is uncertain).
- 03 Evening/night temperatures fall to near freezing (around 33–35F after 18:00), which can increase risk of slick spots, especially on bridges/overpasses, though precipitation chances drop after ~18:00 and are mostly low after 22:00.
- 04 Winds are light (generally 2–9 mph), so crosswind/blowing hazards are minimal.

Recommendation
Morning: If you must drive, the comparatively safer window is late morning (about 10:00–12:00) versus early morning, but expect wet roads; avoid 07:00–10:00 when rain is most certain/intense and fog is possible. Evening: Prefer 22:00–00:00 when precipitation chances are very low; use extra caution 18:00–22:00 as temps trend toward 33–38F with lingering light-rain chances that could create isolated slick spots.
