April 8, 2026 brings sunny, clear skies with no precipitation and light winds throughout the day. The primary concern is a below-freezing start (29°F at 7am) that may leave residual frost or ice on road surfaces in the early morning hours.
- 01 Morning temperatures start at 29°F at 7am, which is below freezing and may cause frost or black ice on road surfaces, especially on bridges and overpasses.
- 02 Temperatures rise above freezing by approximately 8am (32°F) and continue warming to a high near 51-52°F by mid-afternoon, eliminating ice risk for the bulk of the day.
- 03 No precipitation is forecast at any hour (0% probability all day), removing any rain, snow, or freezing rain hazard.
- 04 Wind speeds are light throughout the day, ranging from 3 to 8 mph, posing no significant crosswind or high-profile vehicle risk.
- 05 Overnight temperatures drop back toward 30°F, with clear skies and low humidity — conditions that can allow road surfaces to cool quickly after sunset, increasing late-night frost risk near midnight.
Morning safe window: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM is the safest time to drive in the morning, once temperatures have comfortably risen above freezing (38–45°F) and any early frost has melted. Avoid driving before 9am if possible due to sub- or near-freezing road temperatures. Evening safe window: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM is the recommended evening window, while temperatures are still in the 48–49°F range and roads remain well above freezing. Avoid driving after 10:00 PM as temperatures drop back toward 36–37°F with calm winds and clear skies, increasing the risk of frost reforming on road surfaces by midnight.
