Key Factors
- 01 Morning thunderstorm wave from 7–10 AM with precipitation probability peaking at 83% at 8 AM and 100% relative humidity, creating very wet and potentially flooded road surfaces.
- 02 Evening thunderstorm wave returning from 5 PM onward, with probability reaching 76% at 5 PM and continuing likely through 7 PM (61–68%), extending hazardous conditions into the night.
- 03 Wind gusts up to 26 mph reported both during the day (south winds) and overnight (west winds 12–16 mph with gusts to 26 mph), increasing vehicle instability especially for high-profile vehicles.
- 04 No visibility data provided, but 100% relative humidity in the morning combined with thunderstorms strongly suggests reduced visibility during storm cells.
- 05 Rainfall totals of a quarter to half an inch during the day period increase risk of standing water and hydroplaning.
- 06 The transition between daytime and nighttime periods around 6 PM coincides with renewed thunderstorm activity, compounding risk during low-light conditions.

Recommendation
If driving is necessary, the safest morning window is approximately 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, when precipitation probability drops to 18–24% and conditions are mostly cloudy with light winds around 9–10 mph. The safest evening window is limited — aim for 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM when skies are mostly cloudy, precipitation chance is low (7–30%), and winds remain manageable at 12 mph. Avoid driving before 10 AM and after 5 PM due to active thunderstorms and gusting winds.
