Recommendation
Safer driving windows are 7–9 AM EDT, before the worst heat and smoke, and 9–11 PM EDT, when temperatures and winds ease. Smoke remains possible in the evening, so reduce speed if visibility deteriorates. Avoid unnecessary travel during the peak heat from roughly noon–8 PM, ensure the vehicle is mechanically sound with working air conditioning, and watch for rapidly changing conditions if a thunderstorm develops.
