Key Factors
- 01 High probability of precipitation (often 70-97%) for most of the day
- 02 Rain likely to reduce pavement traction and visibility, especially during heavier bursts around 9-12pm and 6-9pm
- 03 Slight chance of thunderstorms before 5pm and again before 1am, which could bring brief heavy downpours and lightning
- 04 Wind gusts up to 22 mph overnight could add minor handling difficulty, though daytime winds are light (5-8 mph)
- 05 No winter weather or ice risk since temperatures stay in the upper 50s-60s
- 06 No visibility data provided for fog, adding some uncertainty

Recommendation
Drive during the lighter rain windows: early morning between 7-8am (28% chance, lighter rain) or in the mid-afternoon lull around 1pm (35% chance). Avoid driving during peak rain/thunderstorm risk from 9am-12pm and again from 6pm-9pm when precipitation chances exceed 80-97%. Use headlights, reduce speed, and increase following distance throughout the day due to wet roads.
