Recommendation
Avoid non-essential driving today, especially from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM EDT when rain and flood risk are highest. If you must drive, the relatively safer morning window is 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM EDT, and the relatively safer evening window is 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM EDT, though rain still remains possible and flooded roads may persist. Never drive through water-covered roads.
