Summary
Driving is generally OK early today, but patchy fog before 8 AM may reduce visibility, and showers/thunderstorms (some with heavy rain) become more likely from mid-afternoon through late evening, increasing hydroplaning and low-visibility risk.

Key Factors
- 01 Patchy fog expected before about 8 AM (reduced visibility risk).
- 02 Thunderstorm chances rise in the afternoon (hourly precip probabilities increasing from ~26% at 2 PM to ~50% by 7 PM).
- 03 Showers and thunderstorms likely during the evening/night (about 60% 8–11 PM), with note that some storms could produce heavy rain.
- 04 Wet roads and downpours can quickly reduce visibility and increase hydroplaning risk.
- 05 Heat Advisory (heat index near 98–100) can increase driver fatigue/vehicle overheating risk, though it’s not a direct road-hazard like ice/snow.
- 06 Key road-impact details like visibility distance and rainfall rate are not provided, so storm/fog severity timing has some uncertainty.

Recommendation
Morning safer window: 8:30 AM–12:30 PM (after patchy fog ends and before higher storm chances). Evening safer window: 10:30 PM–12:00 AM only if storms have passed locally; otherwise avoid driving from ~2 PM–11 PM due to increasing thunderstorm/heavy-rain likelihood.
