Summary
Generally safe to drive today with caution: a chance of light snow showers through early afternoon (mainly before 1 PM) and near-freezing temperatures in the morning could produce slick spots. Conditions improve by mid/late afternoon, but temperatures fall well below freezing overnight.

Key Factors
- 01 Chance of snow showers before 1:00 PM (daily PoP ~50%; hourly PoP peaks ~53% around 8–10 AM) — light accumulation (<1 inch) possible.
- 02 Morning temperatures at or below freezing (31–33°F between 6–10 AM) increasing risk of snow sticking or icy/slick spots on untreated surfaces.
- 03 Winds are light (around 7–9 mph) — not a major hazard, but wind chill noted; no active alerts were provided.
- 04 Key visibility data (fog/blowing snow) and road-surface conditions are not provided in the dataset, so there is uncertainty about localized slick spots and visibility impacts.
Recommendation
Avoid driving if possible during the primary hazard window: 06:00–13:00, with the worst window roughly 07:00–10:00 when precipitation probability is highest. Safer time slots to drive today: morning: 11:00–13:00 (reduced PoP and temperatures rising above freezing); evening: 16:00–18:00 (clearer skies, PoP ~0, temps just above freezing before dropping). If you must travel during the hazard window, allow extra time, reduce speed, and watch for slick spots.
