Key Factors
- 01 Showers and thunderstorms 8-10am (63-83% precip chance) with heavy rain and reduced visibility possible
- 02 Second round of showers and thunderstorms 5-8pm (61-76% chance), continuing as lighter showers through 11pm
- 03 Rainfall of a quarter to half inch in the day and a tenth to quarter inch overnight raises hydroplaning and ponding risk
- 04 Gusts as high as 26 mph (sustained 6-14 mph) may affect high-profile vehicles
- 05 Temperatures 57-75F so no ice risk; no visibility or fog data provided, which adds uncertainty

Recommendation
Safer windows: late morning 11am-2pm (precip chance 7-24%, mostly cloudy) is the best time to drive; a second option is mid-afternoon around 2-4pm before storms return. Avoid 7-10am and 5-8pm when thunderstorms are most likely. If driving in the evening, expect wet roads, slow down, and increase following distance.
