I haven’t found a site or page I’m really happy with. They all have tons of info and options but no page that really focuses on road conditions.

Does anyone have a recommendation? I’m driving from Chicago to Memphis on Saturday.

TIA

I normally use a combination of a weather site and a road conditions site.  
For the weather site I use Weather Underground:

> **[Local Weather Forecast, News and Conditions | Weather Underground](https://www.wunderground.com/)**
>
> Weather Underground provides local & long-range weather forecasts, weather reports, maps & tropical weather conditions for locations worldwide

For road conditions since I normally drive in Iowa I use the state road conditions site for Iowa:

> **[Iowa 511 Travel Information](https://511ia.org)**
>
> Reports regarding traffic incidents, winter road conditions, traffic cameras, active and planned construction, etc.
