Good morning, commuters!

It's a windshield wiper kind of morning out there as showers and some thunderstorms have left behind road spray and possible slick spots.

Be sure to have your headlights on if the wipers are on.

Already we have a few pockets of congestion, including on southbound 494 around 49th Avenue and on southbound 35W in the area of Lexington Avenue.

I'll be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, reporting any delays or issues — and I will need your help.

If you see or hear about any congestion, delays or problems, e-mail drive@startribune or tweet @stribdrive.
