Recommendation
Drive normally but avoid the pre-9am fog window; if you must drive early, slow down and use low beams. Safer windows: morning 9:00-11:00 AM (fog cleared, storms not yet developing) and evening after 11:00 PM, or roughly 8:00-10:00 PM if you need earlier, when storm chances drop and heat eases. Watch for brief thunderstorm downpours between 1 PM and 6 PM, and keep water and a well-cooled vehicle during the heat advisory through 8 PM.
