Recommendation
Safer morning driving window: 7 AM–10 AM EDT, when it is sunny, cooler, and precipitation chances are very low. Safer evening window: after 9 PM EDT is relatively cooler, but isolated thunderstorms remain possible; avoid driving during any storm or heavy downpour, and never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle.
