Key Factors
- 01 No active weather alerts and light winds (generally 3–8 mph) indicate no severe widespread hazards expected.
- 02 Temperatures in the 70s–80s F remove any risk of ice or freezing conditions.
- 03 Showers and thunderstorms become likely from about 11am through around 6–7pm, with a 55–60% chance and potential for brief heavy rain and ponding on roads.
- 04 Higher humidity (70–90%) combined with storms may lead to periods of reduced visibility and slick roads during heavier downpours.
- 05 Rain chances decrease in the evening and late night (down to ~20% or less after 9–10pm), with mostly cloudy to partly cloudy conditions, improving driving conditions.

Recommendation
It is safest to plan driving for the morning between 7:00am and 10:00am before thunderstorms become more likely, and in the evening between 8:00pm and 11:00pm after the higher-probability storms have diminished. If you must drive between late morning and early evening (roughly 11:00am–7:00pm), be prepared for brief heavy rain, slower speeds, and reduced visibility.
