March 26 starts with mild, mostly sunny conditions but transitions to a high chance of rain showers (up to 91%) after 5 PM with gusts up to 26 mph overnight. Daytime driving is generally safe, but evening and nighttime conditions become increasingly hazardous due to rain and wind.
- 01 Morning hours (7–10 AM) are cloudy but dry, with low precipitation probability (0–2%) and light SW winds of 7–10 mph — very manageable conditions.
- 02 Midday to mid-afternoon (10 AM–5 PM) is the best window of the day: mostly sunny, warm temps climbing to 74°F, low humidity, and minimal rain chance (under 15%).
- 03 Rain showers develop after 5 PM, with probability rising sharply through the evening — 18% at 5 PM, 33% by 9 PM, and 45% by midnight.
- 04 Overnight (6 PM–6 AM next day) sees a 90–91% chance of rain with rainfall totals of 0.25–0.50 inches possible, creating wet, slippery road surfaces.
- 05 Wind gusts up to 25–26 mph are forecast during the evening/overnight period, adding crosswind risk especially for high-profile vehicles.
- 06 No active weather alerts, no freezing precipitation, and temperatures well above freezing (50–74°F) eliminate ice risk entirely.
**Morning safe window: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM** — Partly to mostly sunny skies, dry roads, mild temps (52–65°F), and light winds make this the safest time for morning travel. **Evening safe window: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM** — Rain chances are still relatively low (18–19%) during this window; if evening travel is necessary, aim to complete it before 7 PM to avoid the heavier rain and gusty winds expected after 8 PM. Avoid driving late at night (9 PM–midnight and beyond) due to increasing rain intensity, reduced visibility, and gusts up to 26 mph.
