Key Factors
- 01 Heat Advisory in effect through 8 PM with heat indices up to ~98–100°F — risk of heat-related fatigue or impairment for drivers, especially if vehicle A/C is compromised or during long waits.
- 02 Patchy fog reported before ~8:00 AM (hourly period 07:00–08:00) — reduced visibility that can make morning driving hazardous.
- 03 Increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms from mid/late afternoon into the evening (probability rises from ~26% at 2pm to ~60% after 8pm); some storms could produce heavy rain, reducing visibility and causing slick roads.
- 04 Winds are light (1–8 mph) so crosswinds are not a major concern, and nighttime temperatures remain well above freezing, so no ice/snow hazard is indicated.

Recommendation
Morning: If possible, delay travel until after the fog clears — target 9:00–11:00 AM local (fog expected before ~8:00 AM). Evening: Prefer travel earlier in the evening before storms become more likely — target 5:00–6:00 PM local; avoid driving between about 8:00 PM and midnight when showers/thunderstorms are most likely. Stay hydrated, use A/C, and slow down in heavy rain or low visibility.
