Recommendation
Drive in the cooler morning window around 7-9 AM before temperatures climb into the 90s. In the evening, aim for after about 8 PM once temperatures drop and daytime storm chances ease, but stay alert for isolated thunderstorms. Ensure your cooling system, tires, and coolant are in good shape, carry water, and never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle.
