Key Factors
- 01 Patchy fog from 7 AM to 10 AM with very high humidity (91-97%) can reduce visibility in the morning commute
- 02 Chance of showers and thunderstorms building from ~2 PM through the evening, peaking at 40% probability between 5 PM and 8 PM
- 03 Some storms could produce heavy rain, causing sudden reduced visibility and slick roads
- 04 Heat Advisory in effect (heat index up to 101) until 8 PM Friday, mainly a health rather than driving concern; watch for vehicle overheating and tire stress
- 05 Winds are light (2-8 mph), so crosswinds are not a concern
- 06 No visibility distances provided for the fog, adding some uncertainty

Recommendation
Safest morning window is after fog lifts, roughly 10 AM to 12 PM when skies are mostly sunny and storm chances are still low (2%). Safest evening window is later, around 9 PM to 11 PM as storm probability drops from 40% toward 20%; if driving earlier in the evening, allow extra distance and slow for heavy downpours. Avoid or use caution during 7-10 AM fog and 2-8 PM thunderstorm period. Stay hydrated and ensure your cooling system is working given the extreme heat.
