Key Factors
- 01 The 5:07am EST statement reports likely patchy black ice from frozen runoff, especially on untreated roads, plus early snow. Its identical start/end timestamps do not establish a reliable hazard expiration.
- 02 From 6–9am, temperatures are 27–31°F with snow probabilities of 57–71%; snow remains possible through 10am. The daily forecast allows around one inch of new snow.
- 03 By 11am temperatures reach 37°F, with precipitation probability falling to 21%; afternoon temperatures reach 40–42°F with much lower precipitation chances. Warmer air does not guarantee ice-free pavement.
- 04 Winds are generally 6–10 mph, with daytime gusts up to 22 mph.
- 05 Today's evening hourly temperatures remain 37–40°F, but the overnight forecast extending into February 26 falls to 29°F, creating possible later refreezing; its timing is uncertain.
- 06 Visibility and actual pavement conditions are not provided, limiting certainty about when roads become safe.

Recommendation
Avoid discretionary driving from 6–10am EST, especially 6–9am. A relatively safer morning slot is 11am–noon, provided roads have been treated or confirmed clear; a safer evening slot is 6–8pm, with temperatures near 40°F and low precipitation chances. Slow down, leave extra following distance, and avoid abrupt braking on potentially icy roads. Check road conditions before departure and watch for refreezing if traveling overnight.
