Key Factors
- 01 Precipitation chance is 0-3% from 6 AM through 11 PM, with no rain, snow, or ice expected during the day
- 02 Temperatures stay above freezing (34F at 7 AM, peaking near 47F, 37F by 11 PM), so ice risk is low, apart from possible isolated frost near 34-35F around 6-8 AM
- 03 Winds are light at 1-6 mph, so there is no crosswind concern
- 04 Winter Storm Warning is in effect from about 4 AM Sunday to 6 PM Monday, with snowfall rates over 2 inches per hour and whiteout conditions possible, so travel tomorrow could be very difficult to impossible
- 05 Overnight (after 6 PM) the forecast shows a chance of rain and snow from about 3 AM with temperatures near 32-34F, so conditions begin deteriorating after midnight
- 06 Visibility data is not provided, so fog or reduced visibility cannot be ruled out, which slightly lowers confidence

Recommendation
Best times to drive: morning from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (40-44F, dry, sunny) and evening from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM (mostly dry, light wind, above 42F). Use early morning (before 8 AM) with slight caution for possible frost near 34F. Finish any errands, refuel, and stock up today, and avoid driving after about 11 PM or early Sunday as the heavy snow arrives. Keep an emergency kit with a flashlight, food, and water in the vehicle.
