Key Factors
- 01 Temperatures start at 31°F at 6 AM and remain at or below freezing through 9 AM, increasing the risk of black ice on untreated roads and bridges.
- 02 A slight chance of light snow is forecast between 2 PM and 4 PM (17–22% probability) with temperatures near 39°F — wet snow on cold pavement can reduce traction.
- 03 High relative humidity (81%) in the morning combined with sub-freezing temperatures increases the likelihood of frost or ice on road surfaces.
- 04 Temperatures fall back below freezing after 8 PM (dropping to 32°F by 9 PM and 29°F by midnight), meaning any moisture from the afternoon snow could refreeze overnight.
- 05 No active weather alerts are in effect, and wind speeds remain low (3–5 mph) throughout the day, limiting additional hazards.

Recommendation
Morning window — if you must drive early, wait until 10 AM–12 PM when temperatures have risen to 36–37°F, reducing ice risk on road surfaces. Evening window — aim to complete driving by 6 PM–7 PM (36°F, low precipitation chance) before temperatures drop back below freezing and any residual moisture from the afternoon snow has a chance to refreeze. Avoid the 2 PM–4 PM window if possible due to the slight chance of light snow.
