Key Factors
- 01 Rain showers likely from 11am (56%) rising to 92% chance between 1pm and 4pm, with a quarter to half inch of rain possible, meaning wet roads, spray and reduced visibility
- 02 Showers and thunderstorms forecast 2pm-5pm, with risk of heavy downpours, lightning and hydroplaning
- 03 Winds are light (1-10 mph) and temperatures are 51-63F, so no ice or crosswind hazard
- 04 Patchy fog forecast from 10pm into overnight, which may reduce visibility; visibility data is not provided
- 05 No active weather alerts
- 06 Exact visibility and thunderstorm intensity are not provided, so the level of hazard is uncertain

Recommendation
Best times to drive: morning 7:00-10:00am, when rain chances are only 7-24% and showers are light and scattered; evening 7:00-10:00pm, after showers taper off and before patchy fog sets in. Avoid or minimize travel from about 12pm to 5pm during the heaviest rain and thunderstorms. If you must drive then, slow down, use headlights, increase following distance and pull over safely if downpours are intense. Take care with fog after 10pm.
