Key Factors
- 01 Light rain with 60-80% chance of precipitation from 7am to about 2pm, reducing traction and visibility
- 02 Gusty NW winds 14-17 mph with gusts to 33 mph could affect high-profile vehicles
- 03 Temperatures drop from mid-50s to around 40F by afternoon, then to near freezing (30-32F) by evening, raising slick road risk
- 04 Chance of rain/snow mix and light snow likely between 4pm-7pm as temps approach freezing, increasing risk of slushy or icy patches
- 05 Overnight temps hover right around freezing (30-32F), so any residual moisture could refreeze

Recommendation
If possible, drive in the morning before 7am (before rain begins) is not available since rain starts at 7am; safest morning window is late morning 10am-12pm when rain is tapering (lower probability near midday transition) though still active - use caution and reduce speed. For evening, safest window is after 8pm once snow has ended and roads have had time to drain, but watch for refreezing given near-freezing temps.
