Key Factors
- 01 Winter Storm Warning is in effect for a broader period (4 AM Sunday to 6 PM Monday), but heavy snow does not begin during today’s forecast window; today’s conditions remain calm and mostly sunny.
- 02 Hourly forecast for today shows temperatures above freezing (mid‑30s at 6–8 AM, then 40–47°F through late afternoon), no measurable precipitation, and light winds (around 1–6 mph).
- 03 Evening and early night hours stay just above freezing (upper 30s to low 40s°F) with mostly cloudy skies and 0% precip until at least 11 PM, so road surfaces should remain mostly dry.
- 04 After about 3–4 AM Sunday, the daily forecast introduces a chance of rain and snow with temps near 32–34°F, so conditions may deteriorate late at night into early Sunday.
Recommendation
Safer driving windows today are roughly 9:00–11:00 AM (dry, sunny, temps around 40–43°F) and 6:00–8:00 PM (dry, light winds, temps in the low–mid 40s°F). Avoid planning critical trips very late tonight toward early Sunday when mixed rain and snow may begin near freezing temperatures.
