Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts
- 02 No meaningful precipitation expected (0-11% chance)
- 03 Strong sustained winds 17-21 mph with gusts up to 36 mph could affect vehicle control, especially trucks/high-profile vehicles
- 04 Temperatures hovering in low-to-mid 30s F with wind chills as low as 22F, some risk of residual ice on untreated surfaces especially in morning and evening
- 05 Overnight temps drop to around 24F, increasing chance of refreezing on roads after sunset

Recommendation
Safest driving windows are mid-morning to early afternoon (10am-2pm) when temperatures peak near 36-38F and winds are slightly more manageable, and early evening (6pm-7pm) before wind chill and refreezing risk increase overnight. Avoid driving with high-profile vehicles during peak gust periods (10am-4pm) and use caution after 9pm as temperatures drop toward freezing.
