Key Factors
- 01 Active Freeze Warning until 9:00 AM EDT with temperatures near freezing early, which can create patchy frost and localized slick spots on bridges or untreated surfaces
- 02 Temperatures rise from mid-30s at 7 AM into the upper 50s by afternoon, reducing any residual ice risk after the early morning
- 03 No precipitation is forecast at any hour (0% PoP), so roads should remain dry
- 04 Winds remain very light (around 2–6 mph) with no hazardous gusts indicated
- 05 Skies are sunny/clear all day and night, so no visibility issues like fog, rain, or snow are indicated

Recommendation
Generally safe to drive today. Use extra caution on bridges and shaded spots through about 9:00 AM due to the freeze warning and cold pavement. A particularly good morning window is from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM when temperatures are well above freezing and roads are dry, and a good evening window is from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM with clear skies, light winds, and cool but not freezing temperatures.
