Key Factors
- 01 A Freeze Watch is active from tonight through Saturday morning (October 24 at 9:00 AM EDT), with sub-freezing temperatures as low as 30°F possible overnight.
- 02 Daytime temperatures are cool but safe, ranging from 41°F at 7 AM up to a high of 60°F in the mid-afternoon — no precipitation expected.
- 03 Overnight temperatures drop sharply to around 34°F by 6 AM October 24, with areas of frost forming after midnight, creating potential for icy patches on roads, bridges, and overpasses.
- 04 Wind speeds are light throughout the day (7–10 mph), posing no significant crosswind hazard.
- 05 No precipitation is forecast for the entire day (0% probability of precipitation across all hourly periods), so wet roads are not a concern during daylight hours.
- 06 Early morning hours (7–9 AM) start at 41–43°F, which is cold but above freezing; roads should be clear though temperatures are close enough to freezing to warrant caution.

Recommendation
Morning: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM is the safest window, as temperatures will have risen above 50°F, roads are fully dry, and skies are sunny. Evening: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM is the preferred evening window before temperatures drop sharply; avoid driving after midnight when frost begins to develop on road surfaces, especially on bridges and overpasses.
