Key Factors

- 02 Slight chance of showers and thunderstorms (around 18–23% PoP) from late afternoon into the evening, which can cause brief reduced traction and visibility.
- 03 Winds are light (around 2–5 mph) so crosswind risk is minimal; no freezing/ice risk (temperatures well above freezing).
- 04 No official alerts were issued in the provided data, reducing the likelihood of widespread hazardous conditions.

Recommendation
Morning: avoid driving during the fog window; prefer driving after 10:00–12:00 when fog is forecast to lift. Evening: if possible drive earlier in the evening before storms develop—recommended 18:00–20:00 local time; avoid late-night hours when patchy fog may redevelop after 22:00.
