Driving conditions are hazardous at times today due to repeated showers and thunderstorms, especially from 7–10 AM and again from about 5 PM through the evening. Wet roads, possible reduced visibility, and wind gusts up to 26 mph are expected; no freezing or wintry conditions are indicated.
- 01 Rain and thunderstorms are likely 7–10 AM, with precipitation chances of 63–83% and 100% relative humidity.
- 02 A second, more sustained period of showers and thunderstorms is expected from about 5–8 PM, continuing as likely rain showers into the night; precipitation chances are 53–76% through 9 PM.
- 03 Daily forecast calls for 0.25–0.50 inches of rain during the day and another 0.10–0.25 inches overnight, increasing wet-road and hydroplaning risk.
- 04 Southwest to west winds increase later, with forecast gusts up to 26 mph; this can affect vehicle control, particularly for high-profile vehicles.
- 05 No active alerts are listed, and temperatures remain well above freezing, so ice is not a concern.
- 06 Visibility measurements and thunderstorm severity details are not provided, creating uncertainty about localized heavy rain and visibility reductions.
Avoid driving during the highest-risk morning period, 7–10 AM, and during the evening storm period, 5–9 PM. If travel is necessary, the safer morning/early-afternoon slot is approximately 11 AM–2 PM, when shower chances fall to 7–24%; the relatively safer evening slot is 9–10 PM, although rain chances remain around 45–53% and roads may still be wet. Slow down, leave extra following distance, use headlights, and delay travel if thunderstorms are occurring on your route.
