- 03 Rain shower probability spikes to 79–97% between 11AM and 2PM, with the daily forecast indicating up to a quarter to half inch of rainfall possible — increasing wet road and reduced visibility risks.
- 04 SW winds gusting up to 22 mph during the daytime period, which can affect vehicle handling especially for larger or high-profile vehicles.
- 05 Temperatures in the mid-to-upper 40s during the foggy morning hours are cool and damp, though well above freezing — no ice risk.

Recommendation
If you must drive this morning, the safest window is between 7:00AM and 9:00AM — fog is present but rain chance is lower (under 50%); use low-beam headlights, slow down, and increase following distance per NWS guidance. Avoid driving between 11:00AM and 3:00PM when heavy rain (up to 97% chance) and fog combine for the worst conditions. The safest evening window is 6:00PM to 9:00PM, when rain has cleared, fog has lifted, humidity is dropping, and winds are calm at 9–10 mph.
