Key Factors
- 01 No active alerts, light winds (1–9 mph) and temperatures well above freezing — low ice risk.
- 02 Chance of rain showers and thunderstorms increases in the afternoon: hourly PoP rises to ~25–37% between 14:00–18:00, and the daily forecast notes a 40% chance between 2 PM and 5 PM.
- 03 Thunderstorms could produce heavy rain, brief reduced visibility, and slick roads; patchy fog is forecast after 20:00 which may reduce nighttime visibility.
- 04 Visibility and precipitation intensity values are not provided in the data, so localized heavy downpours or brief hazardous conditions cannot be fully characterized (reduces confidence).

Recommendation
Morning: safer to drive between 07:00–09:00 EDT (low PoP, mostly sunny). Evening: prefer driving after the main thunderstorm window—around 20:30–22:00 EDT, when showers are less likely; be cautious for patchy fog after 20:00. If travel during 14:00–20:00, expect possible heavy rain, reduced visibility, and slower traffic — delay if possible.
