Recommendation
Prefer 8–10 AM EDT, after fog clears. If evening travel is necessary, 6–7 PM EDT is relatively preferable to later hours, but still has a 47% precipitation chance and possible thunderstorms; it is not a reliably safe window. Avoid 7–8 AM if fog persists and postpone optional travel during 8 PM–midnight or any heavy thunderstorm. Reduce speed, increase following distance, and never enter flooded roads. Use air conditioning and stay hydrated.
