A 100% chance means rain is expected over most of the area. Plan indoor alternatives.
Visibility is down to 0,3 mi - use low beams and leave extra following distance. Gusts to 37 mph will push high-sided vehicles on exposed roads and bridges. Overnight lows near 27°F mean ice is possible on bridges before dawn. Wet roads are likely; braking distances roughly double in heavy rain.
Northern Hemisphere, so peak summer falls in June to August.
The gap between the warmest and coldest month averages 76°F.
What to pack, what to skip
- A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
- Insulated outer layer, hat and boots with grip for ice
- Avoid high-elevation trails without traction devices - frozen surfaces persist in shade all day.
- Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 37 mph.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid January, March and December - historically the least comfortable months here.
