Key Factors
- 01 Active Flood Watch (through this evening) for possible flash flooding from excessive rainfall, including potential >2 inches/hour in thunderstorms.
- 02 Thunderstorms and rain expected essentially all day (hourly precip chances mostly 70–95%; daily states 100% daytime) which can quickly create water-covered roads and hydroplaning risk.
- 03 Forecast rainfall totals are significant (daytime additional 1–2 inches possible, plus additional 0.25–0.5 inches tonight), increasing the chance of poor-drainage/urban flooding.
- 04 Gusty northeast winds (gusts up to ~22–23 mph) may make driving less stable, especially in heavy downpours.

Recommendation
Avoid non-essential driving today, especially during thunderstorms and any Flood/Flash Flood Warnings. If you must drive, the least-bad morning window is 07:00–08:00 (still showery/stormy, but lowest listed precip chance at ~65%). For an evening option, wait as late as possible—around 23:00–00:00 when storms ease to rain showers (precip chance ~56%); avoid 18:00–22:00 when thunderstorms remain likely. Never drive through flooded roadways.
