Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts are in effect for today.
- 02 Rain showers are likely from late morning through the afternoon, with thunderstorms most likely from about 2pm–5pm (high PoP around 90%), which can briefly reduce visibility and traction.
- 03 Roads will be wet for much of the day due to a forecast 0.25–0.5 inch of rain, increasing stopping distances and hydroplaning risk in heavier downpours.
- 04 Winds remain light to moderate (generally 1–10 mph) with no indication of hazardous gusts, so wind-related risk is low.
- 05 Temperatures stay well above freezing (mid‑50s to low‑60s °F), so there is no snow or ice risk.
- 06 Patchy fog is expected from around 10pm onward, which can locally reduce visibility, especially in low-lying or poorly lit areas.

Recommendation
Safer driving windows today are roughly 7:00–9:00 am, when it is just cloudy or only light showers with good temperatures and light winds, and 8:00–10:00 pm, when showers have mostly ended and roads are just damp but before the patchy fog becomes more widespread later at night. Try to avoid nonessential driving during the heaviest rain and thunderstorms from about 11:00 am–5:00 pm and use extra caution or avoid driving after about 10:00 pm due to developing fog and reduced visibility.
