Key Factors
- 01 Special Weather Statement for areas of dense fog with reported visibilities down to one mile or less this morning (effective in the early morning).
- 02 Hourly forecast shows patchy/dense fog through about 10–11 AM, then a high probability of rain showers from ~11:00 AM through mid‑afternoon (POPs 79–97% between 11:00–14:00).
- 03 Southwest winds 6–12 mph with gusts reported up to ~22 mph (daily text) can reduce vehicle stability and increase braking distances on wet pavement.
- 04 Temperatures are well above freezing all day, so risk from ice/freezing precipitation is negligible (no winter hazards shown).
- 05 Key visibility and precipitation data are provided; confidence is reduced slightly because the timing of fog clearing and shower intensity may vary locally.
Recommendation
Morning: avoid driving during the dense fog window — especially from about 06:45 (alert issuance) through 10:00–11:00 AM; if you must drive in the morning, delay until after 11:00 AM when fog is most likely to lift. Evening: prefer driving after 6:00 PM (18:00) once rain ends and roads begin to dry — e.g., 6:00–8:00 PM is the safer evening window.
