Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts for the forecast date
- 02 Rain showers with 97% chance around 7-9am and 0.50-0.75 inch total rainfall, causing wet roads and spray/hydroplaning risk
- 03 Temperatures 40-44F during the day - above freezing, so no daytime icing expected
- 04 Wind 9-15 mph with gusts to 28 mph, crosswind risk for high-profile vehicles, especially NW winds after 3pm
- 05 Temperatures fall to 35F by 11pm and toward a low near 31F overnight, so lingering wet spots could refreeze late at night
- 06 No visibility or fog data provided; reduced visibility during heavy showers is possible but unquantified

Recommendation
Driving is generally safe with caution. Best morning window: 10am-12pm, after the heaviest showers (avoid 7-9am when rain chance is near 100%). Best evening window: 6pm-9pm, when precipitation ends and roads are drying, though wind gusts near 28 mph persist. Avoid travel after 11pm when temperatures approach freezing and residual moisture may refreeze; reduce speed, increase following distance, and grip the wheel for gusts in open areas.
