Key Factors
- 01 Showers and thunderstorms forecast nearly continuously from 7am through midnight, with precipitation chances 48-97% each hour
- 02 Daily forecast says some storms could be severe with heavy rain; 0.75-1 inch of rain possible during the day and 0.5-0.75 inch overnight
- 03 South winds 13-24 mph with gusts as high as 41 mph, a crosswind risk especially for high-profile vehicles
- 04 Peak rain chances of 88-91% at 8am, 1pm, 4-5pm and 95-97% around 5pm and 10pm, raising hydroplaning and low-visibility risk
- 05 Overnight low is forecast around 32F with a rise to 36F after the evening; the hourly data shows 58F at midnight, so the temperature trend is inconsistent and a sharp temperature drop overnight could bring icing risk on wet roads after 3am
- 06 No visibility data provided and no active alerts listed, so severity of storms is uncertain

Recommendation
Avoid driving if possible. If travel is necessary, the relatively better windows are about 9:00-10:00am (precipitation chance ~53%, before the heavier midday rain) and about 8:00-9:00pm (chance ~57%, the lowest of the evening), though storms remain possible. Slow down, increase following distance, use headlights, avoid flooded roads, and pull over safely if heavy downpours or lightning occur.
