Des Moines traffic: Wet roads out west, dry for metro commuters

Des Moines traffic: Wet roads out west, dry for metro commuters
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. HIGHS RETURN TO THE 90S. ALYSSA ALL RIGHT, IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT THE DOOR NOW, YOU’RE BEATING THE RAIN AND YOU’RE BEATING THE TRAFFIC. IF YOU’RE STAYING HERE IN THE METRO I-35 NORTHEAST 36TH STREET UP IN ANKENY, WE’RE STILL LOOKING PRETTY QUIET. SAME THING OUT IN MITCHELLVILLE RIGHT NOW. JORDAN CREEK PARKWAY. IT’S KIND OF HARD TO SEE THIS CAMERA WITH THE SUN COMING UP, BUT IT IS STARTING TO GET A LITTLE BIT BUSIER OUT THAT DIRECTION, A LITTLE BIT BUSIER OUT NEAR RIDER CORNER THOUGH. YOUR DRIVE TIMES STILL LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. RIDER CORNER INTO YOUR WEST MIX IS FOUR MINUTES WEST. MIX INTO 63RD STREET. JUST THREE MINUTES IF YOU’RE MAKING YOUR WAY ALL THE WAY FROM THE RIDER CORNER INTO DOWNTOWN. JUST ABOUT A 7 TO 10 MINUTE DRIVE.
