Driving is generally manageable today, but plan around the midday-to-afternoon storm window. Morning safe slot: 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, when precipitation chances are low (under 26%), skies are partly sunny, and roads are dry. Evening safe slot: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, when storms have largely passed, winds calm to near 2–5 mph, and precipitation chances drop below 15%. If you must drive between 11 AM and 5 PM, reduce speed, increase following distance, turn on headlights, and watch for sudden heavy rain or standing water.
