Key Factors
- 01 Showers and thunderstorms likely from about 8am to 4pm, with precipitation chances peaking at 88-94% between noon and 2pm and rainfall of 0.1 to 0.25 inch possible
- 02 Thunderstorms possible in the morning (8-11am) bring risk of heavy downpours, lightning and reduced visibility
- 03 Northwest winds 13-16 mph from 10am to 1pm with gusts up to 29 mph, a crosswind risk for high-profile vehicles
- 04 Temperatures stay above freezing (45-51F) during the day so ice risk is low, but the overnight low near 39F stays above freezing too
- 05 Freeze Watch for sub-freezing temps applies from late Monday night through Tuesday morning, not today
- 06 Visibility data is not provided, so fog or heavy-rain visibility reductions are uncertain; humidity is 96% in the morning

Recommendation
Safer morning window is about 6am-8am before thunderstorms build, though light rain is still possible; if you can wait, avoid 11am-3pm when rain and gusts peak. Best evening window is 5pm-9pm when it is dry, mostly clear and winds are 6-10 mph. Slow down, increase following distance, use headlights, and keep a firm grip on the wheel in gusts.
