Key Factors
- 01 Freeze Warning in effect until 9:00 AM EDT with temperatures as low as 22°F earlier this morning, which can create frost and isolated icy patches on bridges, overpasses, and untreated surfaces
- 02 After mid-morning, conditions become sunny and dry with temperatures rising into the 50s°F and very low precipitation chances (≤3%) through the afternoon and evening
- 03 Winds remain light (generally under 10 mph), minimizing blowing hazards or crosswind issues
- 04 Rain showers are only likely after about 11 PM, with light amounts expected and temperatures well above freezing, so no ice risk is indicated
Recommendation
Safer driving windows today are roughly 10:00 AM–12:00 PM, after the Freeze Warning has ended and surfaces have had time to warm and dry, and 7:00 PM–9:00 PM, before the higher chance of late-night rain showers begins. If you must drive early in the morning, use extra caution on bridges and shaded spots due to possible residual icy patches.
