Recommendation
Morning: 7–8 AM EDT is the lowest-precipitation window shown, though smoke is forecast; avoid unnecessary travel afterward. Evening: no reliably safe slot is forecast. If travel is essential, 11 PM–midnight has the lowest evening precipitation chance shown, but thunderstorms and flooding remain possible—check current alerts and road conditions, and never drive through floodwater.
