Key Factors
- 01 Flood Watch in effect from 2:59 AM until 8:00 PM EDT for flash flooding from excessive rainfall; localized rates over 2 inches per hour possible
- 02 Showers and thunderstorms all day with 100% chance of precipitation and 1-2 inches of new rainfall expected
- 03 Worst window roughly 11 AM-6 PM with precipitation probabilities 82-95%
- 04 Ponding and hydroplaning risk; flooding likely in poor drainage, urban and low-lying areas, worsened by Sunday evening's prior rainfall
- 05 NE winds 8-12 mph with gusts to 22-23 mph, minor concern for high-profile vehicles
- 06 Very high humidity (97-100%) may reduce visibility in heavy downpours; no explicit visibility data provided
- 07 Temperatures 62-73F, so no ice risk

Recommendation
Drive only if necessary today; if you must, aim for the lower-intensity windows around 7:00-9:00 AM and after 10:00 PM (rain chance easing to about 56-60%). Avoid the 11 AM-6 PM peak. Never drive through flooded roadways - turn around, don't drown - allow extra following distance, use headlights, slow down to avoid hydroplaning, and monitor for Flash Flood Warnings.
