Key Factors
- 01 Chance of snow showers 7am-1pm, peaking near 53% around 8-10am
- 02 Temperatures 31-33F during the morning snow, so accumulation of up to an inch may stick on untreated roads
- 03 No active weather alerts
- 04 Winds light (7-9 mph N), minimal crosswind risk; wind chill as low as 24F
- 05 Temperatures fall quickly after sunset, 32F by 7pm and 24F by 11pm, creating refreeze/black ice risk on damp pavement
- 06 Visibility data not provided, so reduced visibility in snow showers cannot be ruled out

Recommendation
Delay non-essential morning trips until after the snow ends; safest morning window is roughly 11am-12pm (best after 1pm). In the evening, drive between 5pm and 7pm before temperatures drop below freezing; after 8pm watch for black ice, especially on bridges. Allow extra following distance and slow down during the 7am-10am snow showers.
