Key Factors
- 01 Heat Advisory in effect until 8 PM EDT; highs near 99F with heat index up to 105 - risk of vehicle overheating and heat illness if stranded
- 02 Patchy smoke 10 AM to noon and areas of smoke after 6 PM may reduce visibility (no visibility values provided)
- 03 Slight chance (15-20%) of showers/thunderstorms from late afternoon into evening, which could bring brief downpours or gusty winds
- 04 West winds 6-14 mph with gusts to 26 mph - minor crosswind effect for high-profile vehicles

Recommendation
Drive early morning, roughly 7:00-9:30 AM, before peak heat and smoke, and again in the late evening around 9:00-11:00 PM once temperatures drop. Avoid extended midday travel (12 PM-5 PM) when heat index peaks; carry water, check coolant and tire pressure, use A/C, and slow down if smoke reduces visibility or a thunderstorm develops late afternoon.
