Key Factors
- 01 Patchy fog flagged for the early morning (around 07:00–09:00) which can reduce visibility.
- 02 Low but non-zero chance (~15–23%) of isolated showers and thunderstorms through late afternoon and early evening that can create wet/slippery road surfaces.
- 03 Winds are light (1–5 mph), so crosswind risk is minimal, but fog and brief heavy rain from isolated storms are the main concerns.
- 04 No freezing temperatures or winter hazards indicated in the provided data.

Recommendation
Avoid driving during the early-morning fog window if possible (07:00–09:00). Safer time slots today: morning: 11:00–12:00 (partly sunny, lower precipitation chance). evening: 21:00–22:00 (mostly clear/partly cloudy with low precipitation chance). If you must drive during fog or thunderstorms, reduce speed, increase following distance, and use low-beam headlights. Note: patchy fog may redevelop after 20:00–21:00 per the forecast, so exercise caution on late-evening trips.
