Key Factors
- 01 Showers and thunderstorms likely 8am-4pm with precipitation chances peaking at 88-94% around midday (12pm-2pm)
- 02 Wet roads and reduced visibility during heavy showers and possible thunderstorms
- 03 Gusty NW winds up to 16 mph sustained with gusts as high as 29 mph, posing crosswind risk for high-profile vehicles
- 04 Freeze Watch in effect (sub-freezing temps as low as 26 possible) from late tonight through Tuesday morning, but daytime temps stay 45-51F so no daytime ice
- 05 Overnight low near 39F approaching freezing; possible frost/ice risk for very early/late trips outside the listed window

Recommendation
Safer morning window: before 8am (07:00-08:00) when showers are lighter, though roads will be wet. Best evening window: after 4pm (16:00-20:00) when precipitation ends, skies clear, and winds ease. Avoid the 11am-2pm peak with thunderstorms and highest rain chances; use headlights and increase following distance in any showers.
