Avoid driving if possible, especially 7:00-11:00 AM and 2:00-5:00 PM. If travel is necessary, the least hazardous morning window is 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM (precipitation chance drops to 40-51%) but flooded roads may still be present; the safest window is evening from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM when skies turn partly cloudy, precipitation chance is 0-5%, and winds are light at 3-6 mph. Never drive through flooded roads (turn around, don't drown), slow down, use headlights, and avoid underpasses and low-lying areas.
