7:34 AM: Via Twitter, WSDOT says wet roads are leading to some slowdowns today, so if you drive, leaving a few minutes early might be a good idea. No incidents right now in the West Seattle commuting vicinity. And since it’s Thursday, we would look ahead to major weekend closures – if there were any; only semi-nearby closure planned this weekend is the ramp from Northbound I-5 to 6th Avenue South.

8:35 AM: If you’ve noticed some overhead signs missing their usual messages this morning, SDOT’s Peg Nielsen explains:

Some of the Variable Messaging Signs (VMSs), which provide travel times for drivers, are dark coming out of West Seattle due to a malfunction in the time estimating system. The Seattle Department of Transportation is working to find and correct the problem.
