Recommendation
Driving is generally safe but plan around the rain. Best morning window is 7am-9am when precipitation chance is low (11-14%). In the evening, the safest slot is around 6pm onward is NOT recommended due to 78%+ storm chance; instead complete evening travel before 2pm if possible. If you must drive during storms, slow down, allow extra distance, use headlights, and never drive through flooded roads (turn around, don't drown). Monitor for possible Flash Flood Warnings.
