Key Factors
- 01 Extreme Heat Warning until 8pm EDT: heat index 100-110; risk of vehicle breakdowns and heat illness if stranded, and car interiors can become lethal for children and pets within minutes
- 02 Showers and thunderstorms possible after 2pm (21-50%), becoming likely 8-9pm and 10pm-midnight (56-65%); some storms may bring heavy rain, reducing visibility and traction
- 03 Overnight rainfall of 0.25-0.5 inch possible; lightning and brief downpours are the main road hazards
- 04 Winds are light (1-12 mph), so crosswinds are not a concern
- 05 Code orange Air Quality Alert: a health concern for sensitive groups, not a direct driving hazard
- 06 No visibility data or thunderstorm gust forecast provided, which adds uncertainty

Recommendation
Morning: drive between 7am and 11am, when it is dry (2-6% rain chance), sunny, and temperatures are 77-88F. Evening: the best window is roughly 9pm-10pm, when the storm chance briefly dips to 44%, but monitor radar. Avoid 8-9pm and after 10pm if possible, when storms are likely. If driving in the afternoon, carry water, check coolant and tires, and pull over safely during heavy downpours. Never leave children or pets in the vehicle.
