Key Factors
- 01 Active Special Weather Statement for patchy fog issued for early morning; alert notes below-freezing temperatures and possible freezing fog.
- 02 Hourly forecasts show patchy fog from 06:00–09:00 EST with temperatures 28–31°F (below freezing), creating freezing-fog and black ice risk on untreated surfaces.
- 03 Very low precipitation probability during the day and light winds reduce other hazards, but overnight/early-morning cold and prior snowmelt (mentioned in the alert) increase localized slick spots.
- 04 Visibility values are not provided in the data; exact severity of fog/visibility reduction is unknown, reducing confidence.

Recommendation
Avoid travel during the primary hazard window this morning (approx. 06:00–09:00 EST). Safer time slots to drive today: Morning: 10:00–12:00 EST (daytime sun and temperatures rising above freezing). Evening: 18:00–20:00 EST (temperatures still above freezing and light winds). If you must travel during the morning hazard window, go slow, use low beams, allow extra following distance, and watch for black ice on bridges/shaded spots.
