Key Factors
- 01 Daytime and overnight forecasts warn that some thunderstorms could be severe and produce heavy rain, increasing the risk of reduced visibility, standing water, and hydroplaning.
- 02 Sustained winds reach 24 mph, with gusts up to 41 mph possible during both forecast periods; high-profile vehicles are especially vulnerable.
- 03 Rain probabilities reach 90–95% during parts of the afternoon and 97% from 10–11 pm.
- 04 No active alerts are listed, but the forecasts still identify significant hazards.
- 05 Hourly temperatures remain 54–65°F through midnight, so freezing conditions are not indicated during today's covered hours. The overnight low near 32°F applies to a period extending into March 17.
- 06 Visibility measurements, hourly rainfall intensity, and exact severe-storm timing are unavailable; no hourly data is provided before 7 am.

Recommendation
Postpone nonessential trips, particularly during the stormier afternoon and late evening. If travel is unavoidable, relatively less unfavorable slots are 7–8 am (48% precipitation chance, 14 mph wind) and 8–9 pm (57% precipitation chance, 22 mph wind), local time (UTC−04:00); thunderstorms remain possible in both, so neither is assured safe. Reduce speed, increase following distance, and never drive through flooded roads.
