April 1st brings a progressive deterioration in driving conditions, starting with a chance of morning rain showers and escalating to likely thunderstorms from 2:00 PM onward through the evening. Precipitation probability peaks at 84% in the late afternoon/early evening, with wet roads persisting all day.
- 01 Morning rain showers (7–10 AM) with 41–43% precipitation probability may create wet, slippery road surfaces early in the day.
- 02 Thunderstorms become likely from 2:00 PM–6:00 PM, with precipitation probabilities climbing to 65–84% — the highest-risk window of the day.
- 03 Evening and overnight conditions remain hazardous with continued rain showers and thunderstorms, probabilities staying at 55–83% through midnight.
- 04 Visibility data is not provided in the forecast, introducing uncertainty around reduced visibility during heavy rain or thunderstorm cells.
- 05 Winds are mild throughout the day (7–10 mph), posing minimal wind-related driving hazard.
- 06 Temperatures are well above freezing (57–76°F), so ice and snow are not concerns.
- 07 High humidity (56–75%) throughout the day increases the likelihood of wet pavement even during brief breaks in precipitation.
If you must drive today, plan your trips around the lower-risk windows: **Morning: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM**, when precipitation probability drops to 12–34% and skies are partly sunny — the safest stretch of the day. **Evening: avoid driving if possible after 2:00 PM**, but if necessary, wait until after **8:00 PM – 9:00 PM** when thunderstorms taper off to rain showers (58% probability) and winds ease to 7 mph — though rain still continues. Reduce speed on wet roads, increase following distance, and be prepared for sudden visibility drops during any active thunderstorm cells.
