Rain Chances Return to the QCA

We saw a spectacular weekend in the Quad Cities, with a high temperature Saturday at 66° and Sunday at 72°.  Temperatures will continue there upward trend, reaching the mid to upper 70s for Monday, and even lower 80s by Tuesday.  As they say, all good things must come to an end.

Several chances for rain exist this week.  The first chance comes Monday evening.  Most of the day should be partly cloudy and quiet.  By the evening, there may be enough instability to spark a few showers and thunderstorms, some of which may be severe.  The Quad Cities is currently under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms, mainly for the threat of hail.

Aside from the severe weather, one thing on the minds of many are the river levels.  While we likely won't get 4 inches of rain like we did a week and a half ago, we still could see upwards of an inch.  Posted below is the Hydrological Predication Center's outlook for rainfall accumulation ending on Friday.  As you can see, we can expect anywhere from three quarters of an inch to one inch of rainfall.
