Recommendation
Safer morning slot: 9 AM–12 PM EDT, after fog is expected to lift and before thunderstorm chances increase. Safer evening slot: after 11 PM EDT, when thunderstorms are no longer forecast for the remaining hours provided; if driving earlier in the evening, use caution from 6 PM–11 PM due to lingering thunderstorm chances and heat through 8 PM.
