Key Factors
- 01 Smoke is forecast from 7 AM through midnight; visibility measurements are missing, so its effect on road visibility cannot be assessed.
- 02 The Code Red advisory describes unhealthy air quality for Thursday, July 16, although its listed effective timestamps conflict with that description. The Code Orange advisory describes July 15 only.
- 03 Winds are 5–15 mph, with daytime gusts up to 25 mph and nighttime gusts up to 24 mph; use extra caution in high-profile vehicles.
- 04 Afternoon temperatures reach approximately 93–94°F, with a heat index up to 96°F.
- 05 Hourly rain chances are 1–15%; isolated evening showers are possible, with the nighttime narrative giving a 20% chance. No freezing conditions are forecast.

Recommendation
Prefer 8–10 AM EDT for cooler temperatures, lighter sustained winds and minimal rain chances, or 9–11 PM EDT for cooler evening temperatures and declining rain chances. Neither window is confirmed to have better visibility: smoke persists throughout. Keep windows closed and use cabin-air recirculation; slow down and increase following distance if visibility is reduced, and postpone travel if you cannot see sufficiently ahead.
