Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts are reported for today
- 02 Temperatures are well above freezing all day and night, so no ice risk
- 03 Morning hours (7am–11am) only have a chance of rain showers with moderate PoP (31–43%) and light winds around 9–10 mph
- 04 Thunderstorm risk increases notably from about 1pm through at least 7pm, with PoP 65–84% and repeated "Showers And Thunderstorms" in the forecast
- 05 Heavier rain in the afternoon and evening can cause reduced visibility and a risk of hydroplaning, even though forecast rainfall amounts are modest (tenth to quarter inch)
- 06 Winds stay relatively light (around 7–12 mph), so there is little wind-related hazard for typical vehicles
- 07 No data is provided on visibility or storm severity (e.g., hail, strong gusts), adding some uncertainty
Recommendation
Safer driving windows today are approximately 9:00–11:00 am, before thunderstorms become likely, and 8:00–10:00 pm, when thunderstorms should be tapering toward mainly rain showers. If you must drive during the 1:00–7:00 pm period, allow extra following distance, reduce speed in heavy rain, and be prepared for temporary poor visibility and wet roads.
