Key Factors
- 01 Smoke is forecast from 7–8am, areas of smoke from 8–11am, patchy smoke from 11am–10pm, and areas of smoke again from 10pm–midnight.
- 02 Hourly winds are only 2–7 mph, with temperatures of 70–87°F and precipitation probabilities of 0–1%; no freezing conditions are indicated.
- 03 The alert text identifies Friday as a code red air-quality day, but its listed effective timestamps both fall on July 16, making its formal July 17 validity uncertain.
- 04 Visibility measurements and wind gust data are missing; conditions before 7am are not covered by the hourly forecast.

Recommendation
Prefer 11am–noon for morning travel and 6–8pm for evening travel (EDT, UTC−04:00), when smoke is forecast to be patchy rather than more widespread. If flexible, avoid 7–11am and 10pm–midnight. Check actual visibility before departing; if smoke obscures the road, delay travel. Keep windows closed and use cabin-air recirculation to limit smoke exposure.
