Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts.
- 02 Temperatures well above freezing all day, so no ice/snow risk.
- 03 Light winds (2–7 mph) — low crosswind risk for most vehicles.
- 04 Chance of showers and thunderstorms increases from about 2:00 PM through early evening (probabilities ~19–27%), which can cause heavy rain, sudden reduced visibility, and hydroplaning.
- 05 Evening hours show a slight chance of showers (≈19–20%) through late evening, so brief wet roads are possible.

Recommendation
Safer morning window: 07:00–13:00 (low precipitation probability, mostly sunny). Safer evening window: 19:00–23:00 (lower storm risk than mid-afternoon, but slight chance of showers remains). Avoid or exercise extra caution driving between 14:00–18:00 when thunderstorms are most likely; if you must drive then, slow down, increase following distance, and watch for heavy downpours and standing water.
