Des Moines traffic: Smooth Friday morning commute so far

No tricks — just treats. Your Halloween commute is clear!

BUT SUNSHINE AND 60S RETURN BY NEXT WEEK. ALL RIGHT. AND AS FAR AS YOUR ROADS GO, THINGS ARE LOOKING REALLY GOOD ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA. SEEING GREEN ACROSS THE BOARD, STARTING TO SEE JUST LITTLE POPS OF TRAFFIC HERE AND THERE. AND SOME OF OUR BUSIER AREAS LIKE UP NEAR GRIMES. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WE’RE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. MORE FOLKS ARE GETTING OUT ON THE WEST MIXMASTER AND YOU CAN SEE, LIKE DAVID SAID, DEFINITELY STARTING TO GET LIGHTER OUT THERE. SO YOU CAN EXPECT EVEN MORE FOLKS ON THE ROAD HERE IN ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO. WHEN THAT SUN IS FINALLY UP. AS FAR AS RIGHT NOW, YOUR DRIVE TIMES LOOKING REALLY GREAT. TRYING TO GET FROM THE WEST ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST MIX IS ABOUT 13 MINUTES, AND THAT SMOOTH DRIVE INTO DOWNTOWN, IT’S JUST GOING TO BE ABOUT SEVEN MINUTES. IF YOU’RE MAKING YOUR WAY FROM THE WEST, MIX INTO DOWNTOWN ON TO 35, TOPPING OFF AT WINDSOR
