Key Factors
- 01 Active Special Weather Statement for areas of fog, locally dense, with visibility reduced to around one mile or less at times this morning
- 02 Hourly forecast shows patchy fog from about 8am through 11am, which can cause sudden visibility changes while driving
- 03 High humidity (near 100%) and early-morning temperatures in the 40s–50s support persistent low clouds/fog before late morning
- 04 Rain showers are likely late morning through late afternoon (around 11am–5pm) with up to about 0.25–0.5 inches of new rainfall, leading to wet roads and potential hydroplaning at higher speeds
- 05 Temperatures stay well above freezing (around 45–60°F), so there is no risk of snow or ice on roads
- 06 Winds are modest (generally 6–12 mph with gusts up to about 22 mph), not high enough alone to pose major driving hazards for most vehicles
- 07 Evening conditions become dry and remain just cloudy to partly cloudy, with stable temperatures in the low–mid 50s and light to moderate wind
Recommendation
Use extra caution if you must drive in the early morning; if possible, a safer morning window is roughly 10:00–11:00am, when fog becomes more patchy and before rain intensifies. For the evening, a safer and more comfortable time to drive is roughly 7:00–9:00pm, when conditions are dry, visibility is good, and winds are moderate.
