Key Factors
- 01 Flood Watch in effect from 2 PM today through Monday evening; heavy showers and thunderstorms expected with rainfall over 2 inches per hour possible, leading to flash flooding.
- 02 Precipitation probability rises sharply through the day: ~8-13% in the morning, 33-48% mid-afternoon, and 61-89% in the evening.
- 03 Storms could produce heavy rain reducing visibility and causing ponding/hydroplaning on roads (1-2 inches expected overnight).
- 04 Heat Advisory until 8 PM with heat index 95-100; risk of vehicle overheating and heat stress if stranded.
- 05 Air Quality Alert (code orange) affecting sensitive groups.
- 06 Winds are light (1-6 mph), so crosswind risk is minimal.

Recommendation
Best morning window: 7:00 AM to about 11:00 AM, when roads are dry and precipitation chances are under 12%. In the evening, conditions are largely unfavorable, but the earliest evening slot around 5:00-6:00 PM is least bad before storms peak; ideally avoid driving after 2 PM due to the Flood Watch and rising storm chances. Carry water, ensure AC/cooling system works, slow down and increase following distance in rain, and never drive through flooded roadways.
