Key Factors
- 01 Continuous rain from early morning through late night, with 100% chance of precipitation and around 1.25–1.75 inches total, leading to consistently wet and potentially ponded roads
- 02 Temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s °F (well above freezing), so icing risk is low but not zero in poorly drained or elevated spots
- 03 Patchy fog between about 8am and 4pm, then areas of fog late afternoon and evening, which can significantly reduce visibility at times
- 04 Evening and night NE winds 8–13 mph with gusts to 23 mph: breezy but below typical hazardous wind thresholds for most drivers
Recommendation
Safer morning window: 10:00am–12:00pm, when temperatures are a bit higher and rain may be lighter though still ongoing; avoid early-morning commute if possible due to heavier rain. Safer evening window: 6:00pm–8:00pm, when rain intensity is moderate and winds are breezy but not extreme, though expect darkness, wet roads, and areas of fog—drive slower and increase following distance.
