Recommendation
Avoid non-essential driving today, especially from 10:00 AM through late evening and again tonight during the strongest storm coverage. If you must drive, the least risky morning window is around 7:00-8:00 AM, and the least risky evening window is around 8:00-9:00 PM, but even those periods may still have showers or thunderstorms and are not truly safe windows.
