Key Factors
- 01 Special Weather Statement for areas of fog early this morning with potential locally dense fog and rapidly changing visibility, especially before about 9am.
- 02 Hourly forecast shows patchy fog from 7–9am, which can briefly reduce visibility and require slower speeds and extra following distance.
- 03 Heat Advisory in effect until 8pm with heat index values up to around 98°F, which mainly affects driver comfort and risk of heat illness if the vehicle is not well-cooled or if stopped for long periods.
- 04 Chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly from early afternoon into the evening (roughly 1–8pm) with probabilities up to about 25%, which can bring brief heavy rain, ponding, and reduced visibility where storms develop.
- 05 Winds remain light to moderate (3–13 mph) with no indication of severe wind or winter-weather-related hazards.

Recommendation
For safer driving conditions, aim for a late-morning window after fog has lifted, such as 10:00am–12:00pm, avoiding the earliest foggy hours. In the evening, a relatively safer window is around 8:00pm–10:00pm, after the highest heat of the day and as shower and thunderstorm chances start to diminish, while still remaining alert for any isolated storms nearby.
