- 03 Flooding may affect poor-drainage, urban, low-lying, and flood-prone areas; creeks and streams may rise rapidly.
- 04 Rainfall could reduce road safety, and the provided data does not include visibility or road-condition measurements.
- 05 Wind speeds are relatively light at 2 to 7 mph, so wind is not the primary concern.
Avoid unnecessary driving from noon through at least 10:00 PM, especially during the afternoon and evening thunderstorm period. If travel is necessary, the safer morning slot is approximately 7:00 AM–11:00 AM, when conditions are sunny or mostly sunny and precipitation chances are 1%–9%. The safer evening slot is approximately 10:00 PM–midnight, when precipitation chances decline to 17%–27%, but continue monitoring for flooding and avoid any water-covered roads. Do not drive through flooded areas, and follow any Flash Flood Warnings.
