  • 46 mph wind — gusty and hazardous on exposed bridges and overpasses.
  • Pavement: wet — wet during the likely ride window — reduced braking, road spray, limited visibility to drivers.
  • Exposed + wet + windy — mixed traffic in wet windy conditions — visibility and handling margin drop together.
