Thunderstorms can be unpredictable in their intensity.  If you haven't checked your windshield wipers since winter, now's a good time.  When roadways are covered with water which can't drain fast enough, be cautious and aslow down your driving.  Hydroplaning can happen easily, with a loss of control.  If out and about in our beautiful wildland, be looking out for possible flash floods.
