Highways and freeways are dry and traffic levels are light. That's making for a smooth commute in the early portion of the morning rush.

A few places are experiencing fog, mostly over river crossings such as on Hwy. 169 in Bloomington and the Mendota Bridge.

Tim Harlow covers traffic and transportation issues in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, and likes to get out of the office, even during rush hour. He also covers the suburbs in northern Hennepin and all of Anoka counties, plus breaking news and weather.
