Key Factors
- 01 No precipitation and mostly sunny to partly sunny conditions from morning through late afternoon with 0% chance of rain and light winds (2–9 mph).
- 02 Temperatures well above freezing all day (upper 50s to upper 70s °F), so no risk of ice or snow.
- 03 Winds remain light and not hazardous for driving.
- 04 Showers begin to become possible late evening (around 10–11pm) with increasing rain chances overnight, including thunderstorms, heavy rain, and patchy fog per the nightly forecast.
- 05 A Flood Watch is in effect from late tonight through Sunday morning, indicating potential for flooding in low-lying and flood-prone locations mainly due to overnight heavy rain.
- 06 Heavy rain and patchy fog with thunderstorms are most likely after midnight, which would significantly reduce visibility and could cause localized flooding on roads, especially by early Sunday.

Recommendation
For today, prefer driving in the morning between 9:00am and 11:00am when conditions are dry, mostly sunny, and winds are light. In the evening, aim for trips between 6:00pm and 8:00pm, before rain chances increase later at night and well before the heavier showers, thunderstorms, fog, and flooding risk develop after about 10:00pm and especially after midnight.
