@dan_soderholm Have a great night my friend!

[𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐆𝐮𝐲 @Clt_TrafficGuy]

Now you've done it.
Another day in Charlotte traffic is over. Well unless you're still driving. We'll reload the roll and be ready to clean up the mess again tomorrow morning at 4:29. See you then.

This is a great view, unfortunately it does not show the ramp from I-77 SB to Brookshire Freeway. There is a wreck on that ramp.

William is complaining with tail pain today.

[𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐆𝐮𝐲 @Clt_TrafficGuy]

This is I-85 at Graham Street exit 41. The traffic headed away from us is Southbound...and the reason its so heavy is a wreck in the LEFT lane before Statesville Rd.

@dan_soderholm Oh Dan, you ain't right.

[𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐆𝐮𝐲 @Clt_TrafficGuy]

Sounds like it needs some good lubricant eye drops!

[MyRadar Weather @MyRadarWX]

EXTREMELY dry air is being found at the center of Supertyphoon Champi.

The drier the eye, the stronger the storm.

All that air rising in the eyewall collides with the tropopause, or ceiling of the lower atmosphere. Some of that air sinks back down, subsiding and drying.

That punches out the hollow eye, eroding clouds and leading to a hot, dry pillar in the middle of the storm.

@cow_traffic Thank you very much for the totally accurate report, Cow. I always say you are the most accurate Cow traffic reporter in Northern York County. I am a little concerned by your choice of graphics though. Somewhat concerned.

This is I-85 near Cox Rd exit 21. You can't see it on this cam, but the ramp from I-85 NB to Cox Rd is blocked by a stalled vehicle.

◙MORE: I-485 OL before exit 61, Johnston Rd,
the THREE RIGHT lanes are blocked. that means only the toll lane is open...and it is just beyond my camera range.

[𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐆𝐮𝐲 @Clt_TrafficGuy]

💥I-485 Outer Loop just before Johnston Rd exit 61,
a multi vehicle crash is messing up the drive home.

@AndytheSliCe Thank you Andy.

I was wondering why traffic was slowing down here on John Belk Freeway inner loop headed down the hill toward I-77...it's the classic accordion effect, where someone near the front of the line hits the brakes or changes lanes...it filters back through the line of traffic.

[𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐆𝐮𝐲 @Clt_TrafficGuy]

Harris Blvd WB after I-85,
TWO LEFT lanes blocked.

[𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐆𝐮𝐲 @Clt_TrafficGuy]

@TheParkerB_ You have the smartest fans who know a champ when they see you!

[𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐆𝐮𝐲 @Clt_TrafficGuy]

⛔️Taylorsville: NC 16 NB is BLOCKED and SB lanes are very slow at Kerda Street, just s of the city limits.

This is our daily Lake Norman Jam Session:
I-77 NB & SB between Sam Furr Rd and Catawba Ave.

@sportsmatters Thank you Brian! I agree 100%

[𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐆𝐮𝐲 @Clt_TrafficGuy]

This looks pretty orderly to me. I am proud of y'all I-85 drivers headed toward Gaston and Cleveland Counties. Average speeds are a little higher too, 17 mph! Sizzlin'!
