Key Factors
- 01 Morning (6am–1pm) has a 20–53% chance of snow showers with temperatures 31–35°F, which can create light accumulation (forecast says <1 inch) and potentially slick spots, especially on untreated roads and bridges.
- 02 Temperatures rise slightly above freezing late morning to midday (up to ~37–39°F), which helps limit accumulation and improve road conditions.
- 03 Winds are light to moderate from the north (around 7–9 mph), not strong enough to pose a significant driving hazard.
- 04 Afternoon and evening (after about 1–2pm) become mostly cloudy to mostly sunny with 0–4% precipitation chance and temperatures slowly falling below freezing later at night, so roads should be mainly dry by evening, though any leftover moisture could refreeze late.
- 05 No weather alerts are in effect for today, indicating no major storms, ice events, or high winds are expected.
Recommendation
Safer morning window: 10:00am–12:00pm, after the higher-probability early snow showers and as temps edge above freezing. Safer evening window: 5:00pm–7:00pm, when conditions are dry, winds are light, and skies are mostly clear or mostly sunny.
