Recommendation
If travel is necessary, the relatively safer morning window is 7:00–9:00 AM, before shower and thunderstorm chances increase. There is no clearly safe evening window: avoid driving from 6:00 PM through midnight due to thunderstorms and heavy-rain potential; postpone evening travel if possible, never drive through flooded roads, and check for warnings and road closures before departure.
