Recommendation
Best morning driving window: 9 AM–12 PM, when precipitation chances are 1–5% and winds are light. Best evening window: 6 PM–8 PM if travel is necessary, but expect likely rain; avoid 8 PM–midnight if possible due to heavier rain probability and thunderstorms near 11 PM–midnight, and avoid after midnight due to patchy fog.
