Recommendation
Avoid nonessential driving during the wettest/thunderstorm period, especially 11 AM–2 PM. Safer morning slot: 7–8 AM if travel is necessary before thunderstorms increase, though showers are still likely; safer evening slot: 6–9 PM when precipitation chances are 1–2% and winds are lighter.
