Keeping tabs on Thursday's morning commute

So far, traffic volume in the metro area is low and there are no accidents to report on the roads.

Good morning commuters.

I'll be keeping tabs on the roads and rails this morning and letting you know where you will encounter delays and problems. I could use your help, too.

If you see any congestions, delays, accidents or issues on the roads, send an e-mail to drive@startribune.com or a tweet to @stribdrive.

So far, we have no issues on the roads, and highways and freeways are in excellent winter driving condition.

As for the weather, it's feeling very March-like out there. Temperatures are hovering around freezing and expected to shoot up into the upper 30s today. Clouds will be rolling in after a sunny start. Look for rain later today.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
