Key Factors
- 01 Active Flood Watch (severity: Severe) highlighting flash flooding risk from excessive rainfall; alert text notes 2–3 inches per hour possible in heavier storms and highest coverage this afternoon/evening.
- 02 Showers and thunderstorms likely much of the day: probabilities rise to ~58–75% from 8am–1pm and remain elevated into the evening/night (often 76–98% from ~5pm–10pm).
- 03 Daily forecast explicitly states some storms could produce heavy rain; total new rainfall 1–2 inches possible during the day plus another 1–2 inches at night, increasing hydroplaning and flooding risk.
- 04 No visibility/road flooding depth data provided, so the exact worst spots/timing can’t be pinpointed; confidence reduced accordingly.

Recommendation
If you must drive, try to schedule around the lowest-precipitation window and avoid the afternoon/evening peak: Morning safer window: 7:00–8:00 AM (only a slight chance; ~19%). Evening safer window: 11:00 PM–12:00 AM (still showers/storms likely, but lower probability than earlier evening; avoid 5:00–10:00 PM when chances are highest ~76–98%). Never drive through flooded roadways; delay travel if heavy rain/thunderstorms develop.
