QUAD CITIES, IA/Ill. (KWQC) — After anther chilly morning a warming trend will begin today. Highs will reach the mid 30s this afternoon under mostly sunny skies. SW winds will continue overnight leading to lows in the mid 20s. The weekend is looking great with lots of sunshine each day and highs in the 40s and 50s! Stating Sunday night a chance for rain returns with areas south of I-80 favored. While temps will cool down behind this system, there is no arctic air on the way so highs will drop back to the mid and upper 30s by Tuesday.

QUAD CITIES, IA/Ill. (KWQC) — Get ready for a roller coaster ride with temperatures this week! We will start it off with a mild day in the 40s and 50s ahead of a week cold front that will start our gradual descent to the teens for highs later this week. While we have an active weather pattern, precipitation chances are slim to none for the work week. Highs will be in the 30s Tuesday, 20s, Wednesday, and teens by Thursday. After the quick cold snap highs in the 30s return Friday and into the weekend with a mainly dry forecast on the way.

QUAD CITIES, IA/Ill. (KWQC) — We will be far cooler today thanks to yet another cold front. Today highs will only reach the mid 30s with winds chills in the 20s. Early Wednesday an arctic front is set to arrive. This will bring the chance for snow showers during the morning commute with tumbling temps. While snow will be less than half an inch, there may be some slick spots that develop. Temps will bottom out in the single digits on Thursday morning with wind chills as cold as -15º. This is all approaching First Alert Day criteria, so stay tuned. Another round of snow is possible Thursday afternoon with minor accumulations expected. Another system will arrive Friday bringing a widespread wintry mix that will change over to rain by Saturday morning.

QUAD CITIES, IA/Ill. (KWQC) — An arctic front will race through the area today sending temps from near 30º this moring to the single digits tonight with wind chills near -15º. Snow showers will occur off and on this morning before moving east with the front by midday. Thursday will be a First Alert Day for sub-zero wind chills in the morning and then for a narrow band of snow to set up generally south of I-80. While amounts will be an inch or two, with arctic air in place it will stick to the roads and be easy to move around, thus the evening commute will be slick. We are also keeping an eye on a storm system that could bring snow, freezing rain, and rain to the area late Friday and into Saturday. Stay tuned!

Icy start to the weekend.

QUAD CITIES, IA/Ill. (KWQC) — Overnight snow/freezing drizzle has created slick travel north of I-80. Take it slow this morning as roads should improve with time. Temps will be slightly cooler today thanks to NW winds in wake of our overnight front. Highs will reach the mid 30s this afternoon with wind chills in the mid to low 20s. This will be the start of a cooler stretch of weather this week. Another system will arrive on Thursday leading ot increasing clouds and highs in the mid 30s.
