Key Factors
- 01 Frequent rain expected much of the day (hourly PoP mostly 60–80% from 07:00–13:00; daily chance of precip 80%), which increases risk of slick roads and reduced traction.
- 02 Transition to wintry mix late afternoon (chance rain/snow 16:00–18:00) and snow likely around 18:00–19:00, increasing risk of slush and rapidly changing road conditions.
- 03 Overnight low around 30°F (below freezing) after daytime rain raises risk of refreezing/black ice later in the evening/night (exact road temperatures unknown).
- 04 Gusty northwest winds up to 33 mph during the day can make handling harder, especially on exposed roads and for high-profile vehicles.
- 05 Visibility is not provided; confidence is reduced because we can’t directly assess fog/heavy snow visibility impacts.

Recommendation
If you must drive, the least-bad morning window is 09:00–11:00 (still rainy, but before the late-day changeover—use extra following distance and lower speeds). The safer evening window is 20:00–22:00 after snow chances drop very low (PoP 2% or less), but be alert for possible icy patches as temperatures approach freezing; avoid 16:00–19:00 when rain/snow transition and snow are most likely.
