Recommendation
Avoid driving during the Flood Watch (through 8:00PM EDT), especially midday and late afternoon (11AM-5PM) when precipitation probability peaks at 90-95%. If travel is unavoidable, the relatively lower-risk morning slot is around 7:00-8:00AM (65% precip), and in the evening after 8:00PM as rain chances begin to ease (around 9:00-11:00PM). Never drive through flooded roadways.
