Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts are in effect for the day.
- 02 From 7–9am there is a high chance of showers and thunderstorms (PoP 77% at 7am, 49% at 8am, 28% at 9am), which can briefly reduce visibility, create wet/slippery roads, and involve lightning.
- 03 Rainfall amounts are modest (around a tenth to a quarter inch), so flooding or major hydroplaning risk appears low.
- 04 After about 10am, precipitation chances drop to very low (≤14%) with mostly cloudy to mostly sunny skies, improving road conditions.
- 05 Winds remain light to moderate (generally 3–9 mph, gusts up to 21 mph) without high-wind hazards for typical vehicles.
- 06 Evening and night (after 6pm) are mostly clear, dry, and calm, favoring safe travel.

Recommendation
If possible, avoid driving during the heaviest showers and thunderstorms from about 7:00–9:00am. A safer morning window is roughly 10:00am–12:00pm once storms have moved out and roads begin to dry, and a safer evening window is 7:00–9:00pm when conditions are clear, dry, and winds are light.
