Key Factors
- 01 Patchy fog is forecast 7:00–10:00 AM, with very high humidity (93–96%); no visibility measurements are provided, so the severity is uncertain.
- 02 A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms develops around 4:00 PM and continues through 10:00 PM, with hourly precipitation chances generally 16–23%.
- 03 The daily forecast notes that rainfall amounts of 0.25–0.50 inches are possible if showers occur, which could cause wet roads and reduced visibility.
- 04 Temperatures are well above freezing and winds are light, so ice and wind-related driving hazards are not expected.

Recommendation
Morning: the safer window is 10:00 AM–12:00 PM, after the forecast fog period; avoid or delay travel from 7:00–10:00 AM if fog is limiting visibility. Evening: the safer window is 10:00 PM–midnight, after the thunderstorm chance diminishes; if driving from 4:00–10:00 PM, check conditions immediately before leaving and slow down for wet roads or thunderstorms.
