Recommendation
If driving is necessary, use the 7:00 to 8:00 AM EDT window before rain chances increase significantly and before the Flood Watch takes effect at 10 AM. For the evening, wait until after 11:00 PM EDT when thunderstorm chances begin to decrease slightly, though flood and storm risks remain elevated. Avoid low-lying and flood-prone roads entirely.
