Key Factors
- 01 Strong daytime winds of 15–21 mph with gusts up to 43 mph from the west, which can affect vehicle control, especially for high-profile vehicles such as trucks, SUVs, and vans.
- 02 Early morning temperatures of 38°F (7:00–8:00 AM) are near freezing, increasing the risk of residual ice or frost on road surfaces, particularly on bridges and overpasses.
- 03 Overnight low near 33°F with NW gusts up to 29 mph after 6:00 PM increases the risk of black ice forming on road surfaces late at night.
- 04 No precipitation is forecast throughout the day, which reduces but does not eliminate weather-related hazards given the near-freezing temperatures.
- 05 Visibility data is not explicitly provided in the forecast, introducing minor uncertainty about potential glare or other visibility concerns.

Recommendation
Morning window: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM is the safest morning slot, as temperatures will have risen to 41–44°F (reducing ice risk) and while winds are still present (~21 mph), roads are dry and sunny. Evening window: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM offers calmer winds (13–15 mph) and temperatures still above 44–49°F before the overnight cool-down. Avoid driving after 10:00 PM when temperatures drop toward freezing (39°F and falling) and black ice becomes more likely on exposed road surfaces.
