- 04 Reduced visibility and hydroplaning risk during heavy downpours and thunderstorms

Recommendation
If you must drive, the safer morning window is early, around 7am-8am, before storms develop (5-27% chance of rain). Avoid the midday-to-evening period entirely, especially 2pm-6pm when storms and flooding risk peak. For an evening trip, wait until later, roughly 8pm-10pm, when rain chances drop to around 30-37%, but stay alert for wet roads and overnight fog after 1am.
