Recommendation
Avoid driving during peak storm activity in the afternoon and early evening (2:00 PM to 8:00 PM). Safer driving windows are in the morning from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM (lowest precipitation chance at 5%) and later in the evening from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM as storm activity and rain chances subside (31-32%), though beware of lingering wet roads and potential localized flooding.
