Key Factors
- 01 Slight chance of rain showers (25-30% PoP) before 9am could cause brief wet roads
- 02 North winds 12-14 mph with gusts to 30 mph during the day may affect high-profile vehicles
- 03 Freeze Warning in effect until 9am and again overnight from 6pm, with temps dropping to near 34F by evening and lower overnight - risk of frost/black ice especially on untreated or shaded roads early morning and after dark
- 04 Daytime temperatures (48-52F) keep precipitation as rain, not snow or ice
- 05 Visibility data not provided, though skies clear through the afternoon with mostly sunny conditions

Recommendation
Safest driving window is mid-morning to late afternoon, roughly 10am-5pm, once rain showers end and temperatures are well above freezing. Avoid driving before 8-9am due to lingering freeze conditions and possible light rain, and exercise caution after 9-10pm as temperatures fall toward freezing and frost/black ice risk increases, especially on bridges and overpasses.
