Key Factors
- 01 Patchy fog with very high humidity (97%) through 10 AM EDT may reduce visibility during the morning commute
- 02 Chance of showers and thunderstorms rising from 19% at 2 PM to 40% between 5 PM and 8 PM, with some storms capable of heavy rain and sudden ponding/hydroplaning risk
- 03 Heat Advisory in effect (heat index up to 100-101F) through Friday 8 PM EDT - vehicle overheating and driver fatigue/heat illness risk
- 04 Winds are light (2-8 mph SW), so crosswind risk is minimal
- 05 No visibility values provided numerically, so fog severity is uncertain
- 06 Patchy fog redeveloping again after midnight

Recommendation
Safest morning window is 10 AM to 1 PM, after fog clears and before storm chances rise. Safest evening window is after 9 PM as storm probability drops to 27-20%, though watch for fog returning after midnight. Delay non-essential trips during 5 PM to 8 PM when thunderstorms are most likely; use low-beam headlights and extra following distance in early morning fog, keep coolant/AC in check, and carry water given the heat advisory.
