- 02 Isolated showers and thunderstorms are forecast from 4–11 PM EDT, becoming scattered at 11 PM; hourly precipitation chances increase from 15% to 26%.
- 03 Forecast winds are relatively light at 3–10 mph, and temperatures do not suggest ice risk.
- 04 A code orange air quality alert applies Friday and poses health concerns for sensitive groups.

Recommendation
Prefer 7–9 AM EDT, when temperatures are 83–86°F and rain chances are 1%. For an evening trip, 9–10 PM EDT is a cooler option at 89°F, but thunderstorms remain possible; use this slot only if storms are absent along your route. Minimize travel during peak heat, especially noon–6 PM, and postpone driving through thunderstorms from 4 PM onward. Use working air conditioning, carry water, and never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle.
