Key Factors
- 01 An active Flood Watch is in effect starting at 8:00 AM EDT today due to potential flash flooding from excessive rainfall.
- 02 Showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop in the afternoon, with precipitation chances rising above 60% after 2:00 PM and peaking up to 85% in the evening.

Recommendation
If travel is necessary, complete it in the morning between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM when conditions are mostly cloudy with low rain chances. Avoid driving in the afternoon and evening. If emergency evening travel is required, the late-night slot from 11:00 PM to Midnight has a slightly lower probability of storms (59%), but driving after dark during a flood watch is extremely dangerous and not recommended.
