Recommendation
Driving is generally safe with caution. Best morning window: 7:00-9:00am (light winds under 6 mph, lighter showers) before storms intensify. Best evening window: 5:00-9:00pm (dry, mostly clear, winds easing to 6-10 mph). Avoid 11:00am-2:00pm, the wettest and windiest period. Slow down, increase following distance, and use headlights in rain.
