Key Factors
- 01 Wind Advisory in effect from 4:08 AM Sept 26 until 6:00 AM Sept 27 (gusts to 45 mph; NWS notes driving may be difficult for high-profile vehicles)
- 02 Sustained north winds 20-22 mph all day with gusts up to 47 mph - crosswind risk on bridges and open roads
- 03 Rain showers most of the day, 90-100% chance; heaviest and most persistent in the afternoon/evening (POP 67-79% from 1-4 PM, 65% late night)
- 04 Rainfall of 0.25-0.5 inch daytime and 0.75-1 inch overnight raises ponding/hydroplaning risk
- 05 Temperatures 55-62F, so no ice or freezing hazards
- 06 Blown tree limbs and debris possible per alert
- 07 Visibility not provided in the data; humidity 86-96% suggests possible reduced visibility in heavy showers

Recommendation
Drive if needed, but slow down, increase following distance, keep a firm grip on the wheel for gusts, and use headlights in rain. Best morning window: about 10:00-11:00 AM, when rain chances dip to roughly 37%. Best evening window: about 8:00-10:00 PM, when shower chances ease to around 49%. Avoid the 1:00-5:00 PM period (heaviest showers, 67-79% chance) and late night after 11 PM when rain intensifies again. High-profile vehicles should postpone travel until winds ease after 6 AM Sunday.
