Key Factors
- 01 Freeze Warning active until 9:00 AM EDT with temperatures at or below 32°F, creating a high risk of black ice and frost on road surfaces early in the morning
- 02 Early morning temperatures of 36°F at 7:00 AM are near freezing, and road surfaces may remain icy even as air temperatures begin to rise
- 03 No precipitation forecast throughout the entire day, reducing wet-road hazards later in the day
- 04 Wind speeds are light (1–6 mph) all day, posing no significant crosswind or high-profile vehicle risk
- 05 Afternoon and evening temperatures warm to 54–57°F with sunny skies, making for very favorable driving conditions

Recommendation
Morning safe window: Wait until after 10:00 AM EDT to drive, once the Freeze Warning has expired and temperatures have risen above 46°F, giving road surfaces time to thaw. Evening safe window: Drive between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM EDT, when temperatures are still around 54–57°F, skies are clear, winds are calm, and before temperatures begin dropping again toward freezing overnight.
