6:27 AM Good morning!
WEATHER
Even warmer today, according to the forecast – which predicts rain and a high in the mid-to-upper 50s.
HIGHLAND PARK WAY
No update so we’re assuming it’s still one lane each way between Holden and West Marginal, following Tuesday’s slide. Here are the relevant cameras:

POTHOLE ALERT
We featured a few on Monday and Tuesday. For today, another report, from Ellie;
Coming along East Marginal Way toward the bridge … there are some wicked potholes. I was in the center lane and around Lucile (maybe a little further North) saw the car ahead swerve and then saw potholes but I had cars either side of me so kept on course. That resulted in two flat tires – I made it to the Jack in the Box parking lot which seemed the safest place to go and over the next hour when waiting for a tow truck saw at least four other cars (all sedans) come in with flat tires. Wish that I had swerved too but it was thick traffic and didn’t feel safe to do so. Wanted to pass along in case it’s helpful for other commuters!
Here’s how to report potholes.
