Aside from the thunderstorms in the area, the Thursday rush is getting off to a bumpy start. The latest incident is a car fire on westbound 494 at the I-35W interchange. The ramp from northbound 35W to westbound 494 is the most impacted. Look for that ramp to be shut down momentarily.

Over in St. Paul, a rollover crash in the median between I-35E and I-94 near Wabasha Street has cleared. It does serve as a reminder that wet roads can be slippery. Keep the speeds down.
