Key Factors
- 01 A Heat Advisory is in effect with heat index values up to 103°F from 10 AM to 8 PM EDT; extreme heat increases risks of vehicle overheating, tire blowouts, and heat-related illness if stranded.
- 02 Patchy smoke is expected from late morning through the evening, and areas of smoke continue overnight, potentially reducing visibility and causing hazy driving conditions.
- 03 Afternoon west winds of 6 to 14 mph with gusts up to 26 mph may create handling issues for high-profile vehicles.
- 04 A slight chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms exists late afternoon into the evening, though probability remains low at 15-20%.

Recommendation
Safer morning window is 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM before smoke develops and temperatures climb. Safer evening window is after 9:00 PM when temperatures drop below 90°F, though some smoky haze may remain. Avoid unnecessary midday travel during peak heat, ensure your vehicle's cooling system is functioning, carry water, and reduce speed if visibility is reduced by smoke.
