Westchase Traffic Report: Generally An Easy Friday Commute

 Commuter traffic through Hillsborough is generally running smoothly after backups earlier in the afternoon. I-75 SB from Fowler Avenue to the I-4 junction is a little slow. And NB 275 is stop-and-go from mid-span of the Howard Franklin Bridge to Dale Mabry Highway.  I-4 EB slows from just before US 301 to the Mango exit.  After a relatively light week, commuters may face more backups next week as the weather  heats up  and forecasts call for afternoon thunderstorms to begin popping  up.
