Recommendation
Avoid non-essential driving today, especially 10 AM-6 PM when rain chances are highest (85-95%). If you must drive, the relatively better morning window is 7-9 AM (65-73% chance), and the better evening window is 7-8 PM or after 10 PM (56-62% chance). Note that roads may still be flooded after heavy rain earlier in the day. Never drive through flooded roadways, slow down, use headlights, and monitor for Flash Flood Warnings.
