Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts are in effect for the day.
- 02 Patchy fog is forecast from about 7:00–10:00 with very high humidity (mid‑90s%), which can locally reduce visibility, especially in low-lying or poorly ventilated areas.
- 03 From late afternoon through evening (around 16:00–22:00) there is only a slight chance (about 20–23%) of showers and thunderstorms, so brief heavy rain and wet roads are possible but not likely for most drivers.
- 04 Temperatures are well above freezing all day (70–85°F), so there is no risk of ice or snow.
- 05 Winds remain very light (around 2–5 mph), so there is no concern about strong crosswinds or blowing dust/debris.

Recommendation
If possible, avoid driving in the early morning fog window between about 07:00 and 10:00. A safer morning driving window is roughly 10:00–12:00, after fog has lifted and before any afternoon storms develop. In the evening, a relatively safer window is around 21:00–23:00, when the chance of thunderstorms is diminishing; still remain alert for any lingering wet spots on the road and for any developing patchy fog late at night.
