Recommendation
Avoid driving during the morning storms and flash flood window (7am-11am) and the afternoon storm window (2pm-5pm). If you must drive in the morning, the safest slot is a brief lull around 12pm-1pm when precipitation chance drops to ~40%. The safest evening window is after 7pm (6pm-8pm onward), when precipitation drops to 5-20% and skies clear. Never drive through flooded roads—turn around, don't drown.
