Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts in effect.
- 02 Light rain with 60-80% precipitation chance from 7am to about 1pm; wet roads and reduced traction.
- 03 Sustained NW winds 14-17 mph with gusts to 33 mph, a crosswind concern for high-profile vehicles.
- 04 Falling temperatures through the afternoon (53F to 40F) with a rain/snow mix 4pm-6pm and likely light snow around 6-7pm.
- 05 Overnight low near 30F/32F means any leftover moisture could refreeze late; roads may be slick after midnight.
- 06 No visibility data provided, so fog or snow-related visibility reduction cannot be assessed.

Recommendation
Drive with reduced speed and extra following distance on wet roads; grip the wheel for gusts on bridges and open stretches. Safest morning window is roughly 7:00-8:00am before rain chances peak (or wait until after 1pm); safest evening window is roughly 7:30-10:00pm once the snow ends, skies clear, and winds drop below 10 mph. Avoid the 4:00-7:00pm rain/snow changeover if possible, and watch for refreeze after midnight.
