Key Factors
- 01 Thunderstorm probability rises steadily from ~21% in the morning to a peak of 60% between 8–9 PM, with severe storm potential noted in the daily forecast.
- 02 Heavy rainfall possible — up to half an inch during the day and up to three quarters of an inch overnight, increasing the risk of standing water and reduced road traction.
- 03 High relative humidity of 100% in the early morning (7–8 AM) raises the possibility of fog or mist, which could reduce visibility, though no explicit fog alert is present.
- 04 Afternoon peak temperature of 87°F combined with high humidity may cause localized heavy downpours and reduce visibility during storms.
- 05 Evening hours (6 PM – 9 PM) carry the highest storm likelihood (52–60%), making nighttime driving particularly risky due to reduced visibility in rain and potential for flooded roads.
- 06 Wind speeds are light (2–6 mph) and pose no significant crosswind hazard on their own, but gusty conditions within thunderstorm cells are possible.
- 07 No active weather alerts are in effect, but the daily forecast explicitly warns that some storms could be severe.

Recommendation
Morning window — Prefer driving between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM, when precipitation chances remain low (21–23%) and conditions are most manageable, though be alert for early morning fog due to 100% humidity. Evening window — If evening travel is necessary, aim to complete trips before 6:00 PM; avoid driving between 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM when thunderstorm likelihood peaks at 52–60% and heavy rain is most probable.
