Key Factors
- 01 Freeze Warning (Severe) listed as in effect until 9:00 AM EDT, with temperatures as low as 32F; the alert's listed start time is 2:47 AM EDT, so early-morning black ice risk on untreated surfaces is possible before roughly 9 AM
- 02 Hourly forecast shows temperatures rising from 36F at 7 AM to 50F by 11 AM, reducing ice risk after mid-morning
- 03 Probability of precipitation is 0% for all periods, with no snow, ice, or freezing rain forecast
- 04 Winds are 5-6 mph or less during the day and 1-2 mph overnight, posing no crosswind or high-profile vehicle concern
- 05 Visibility data not provided; assessment assumes clear visibility given sunny and clear forecasts
- 06 Overnight low around 36F with clear skies is above freezing for the period shown, but shaded and bridge surfaces may still be colder than air temperature in the early morning

Recommendation
Morning window (approximately 9 AM to 12 PM EDT) is the safest time to drive, after the freeze warning expires and temperatures warm to around 42-50F; use caution on shaded or bridge surfaces before 9 AM. Evening window (approximately 3 PM to 7 PM EDT) is also favorable with temperatures in the mid-50s and light winds, though the temperature drops to the mid-40s after 8 PM and cooler overnight conditions may bring frost on untreated surfaces.
