Conran Traffic and Road Conditions

Expect widespread showers and thunderstorms on Thursday impacting routes such as Interstate 70 and Interstate 64, stretching from the Central Plains to the Ohio Valley. Areas in Kentucky and West Virginia are particularly vulnerable to heavy rainfall, so travelers should be prepared for potential slowdowns and delays. On Friday, a cold front will bring the risk of severe storms to the Upper Midwest and Central Plains. Watch for severe weather along Interstate 35 and Interstate 94, especially affecting northern Minnesota and the U.P. of Michigan. Heavy rainfall can also be expected, which may lead to wet and slippery conditions. Through the rest of this week, the Southern Plains, particularly Texas, will experience extreme heat. Travelers using routes like Interstate 10 and Interstate 35 should be mindful of heat-related stress. Although a cold front on Friday might bring some relief to northern areas, Texas remains under significant heat risk. The Southwest will see showers and storms due to monsoonal moisture, impacting routes such as Interstate 40 and Highway 93. Be prepared for changing weather conditions and potential delays.
