Des Moines traffic: Wet roads stick around for Wednesday commute

Take it slow! Central Iowa roads are slick as rain continues.

DRY AND CLOUDY FOR HALLOWEEN. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, JOHN. TAKING UP TO 235. WE HAD A STALLED DARPA IS HANGING OUT IN YOUR EASTBOUND RIGHT SHOULDER, BUT THAT JUST GOT CLEARED OUT OF HERE AS WE KIND OF WELCOME YOU BACK HERE. SO THINGS ARE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD OUT THAT DIRECTION. GETTING CERTAINLY A LOT BUSIER 3580 AT DOUGLASS SEEING A LOT MORE HEADLIGHTS AND SAME THING WE’RE SEEING OUT IN ALTOONA. STILL A LITTLE BIT QUIETER THAN DOUGLASS OVER THERE THOUGH. TRAFFIC IS STARTING TO PICK UP OVER IN THE WESTERN SUBURBS, ESPECIALLY GRIMES AND WAUKEE, BUT YOUR DRIVE TIMES ARE STILL CONTINUING TO LOOK PRETTY GOOD. IF YOU CAN GET OUT WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES OR SO, I SUGGEST YOU DO SO. WALK TO THE WEST MIXES 11 MINUTES AND WEST MIX IN DOWNTOWN IS JUST SEVEN MINUTES, SO WE’LL CHECK BACK IN WITH THOSE DRIVE TIMES AND YOU
