Recommendation
It is highly recommended to avoid driving during the peak hazard windows. If you must drive, the safest morning slot is between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM before the Flood Watch begins. The relatively safer (though still hazardous) evening slot is after 11:00 PM when the probability of precipitation decreases to 55%.
