Recommendation

Morning window — Drive before 10:30 AM: Conditions are at their best early in the day, with partly cloudy skies, low precipitation probability (under 16%), and manageable winds. Aim to complete longer or non-essential trips before 11 AM. Evening window — Drive after 6:00 PM: Precipitation chances drop to 23–26% by 6–7 PM and winds ease to 10–12 mph, making the early evening a reasonable window. Be aware that a secondary uptick in showers (34–44%) is possible from 7–9 PM, so if driving late, aim to be off the road by 7 PM or wait until after 10 PM when chances fall back to around 36% with lighter winds near 8 mph.
