Recommendation
Avoid unnecessary driving, particularly from 11 AM through 10 PM EDT, and never enter flooded roadways. The relatively safer morning slot is 7–8 AM, before storm chances rise sharply. There is no reliably safe evening slot; if travel is essential, 10–11 PM is comparatively less unfavorable than 6–10 PM, but thunderstorms and flooding remain possible, so check current warnings and road conditions first.
