Driving is hazardous today (2026-03-16): showers and thunderstorms are likely much of the day with periods of heavy rain and strong southerly winds with gusts reported up to 41 mph. Expect reduced visibility, ponding/hydroplaning risk, and possible severe storms.
- 01 High probability of precipitation most of the day and evening (hourly PoP frequently ≥70%; daily states 100% chance daytime and overnight).
- 02 Daily forecast notes some storms could be severe and rainfall amounts up to 0.75–1.0 inch (heavy rain increases hydroplaning and visibility problems).
- 03 Strong S/SW winds 13–24 mph with gusts as high as 41 mph (crosswind risk, especially for high‑profile vehicles).
- 04 No active alerts provided (alerts array empty) — but forecast text explicitly warns of possible severe storms.
- 05 Key data missing/conflicting (no visibility observations provided; daily night temperature shows 32°F which conflicts with hourly temps in the 50s–60s) — this increases uncertainty about any freezing/icing risk after evening.
If travel is necessary: avoid the main storm window if possible — morning: 07:00–08:00 local time is the relatively safer morning slot (lower PoP ~48% per hourly). Evening: 20:00–21:00 local time is the relatively safer evening slot (hourly PoP ~57%) — both still carry rain risk. Best option: postpone nonessential travel until storms diminish. If driving, slow down, increase following distance, watch for flooded/standing water and strong gusts, and avoid travel during midday–early evening when hourly PoPs are highest (~10:00–19:00).
