DEGREES. THAT WILL DRY THINGS OUT AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. THANKS, SEAN. UNFORTUNATELY, GOT A COUPLE MORE CRASHES TO TELL YOU ABOUT RIGHT NOW OUT NEAR WEST MIXMASTER AS YOU ARE HEADING INTO YOUR WEST MAKES YOU GET A CRASH HANGING OUT IN THE RIGHT SHOULDER OVER THERE, AND THEN THIS ONE REALLY IMPACTING TRAFFIC ON 235 AT 22ND STREET, AS YOU’RE TRYING TO MAKE YOUR WAY INBOUND INTO DOWNTOWN, A MULTI-VEHICLE CRASH IN THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO 235, IT’S REALLY CREATING SOME CONGESTION RIGHT HERE. SO KIND OF A MESS NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE METRO RIGHT NOW, YOU’RE GOING TO BE SEEING QUITE A BIT OF A SLOWDOWN. WEST MIX TO DOWNTOWN IS 12 MINUTES AND SO IS THE EAST MIX. WE’RE GOING TO CHECK BACK IN WI
