Recommendation
Best morning driving window: 7–11 AM, before shower chances increase. Best evening driving window: 7–10 PM, after the isolated-shower period ends. If driving between 11 AM and 6 PM—especially 2–5 PM—watch for sudden rain or thunderstorms, slow down on wet roads, use headlights in rain, and delay travel if a thunderstorm is occurring along your route.
