Recommendation
Morning (safer): 07:00–10:00 — mostly sunny, low precip chance; roads should be dry and visibility good. Evening (safer): 18:00–21:00 — mostly cloudy with low-to-moderate precip chances; avoid travel after about 22:00. Avoid driving late night into early morning (approximately 00:00–06:00) when heavy rain, thunderstorms, and flooding are most likely.
