Autumn Preview in July

The Quad Cities woke up this morning to an official low of 55°, which was just a degree above the record low for the date.

High temperatures through this weekend will be in the upper-70s to low-80s with overnight lows generally in the 50s.

These temperatures are more common in early-to-mid-September.

We start the month of September with highs around 81° and lows near 60°.  However, by the end of the month, temperatures drop off quickly to highs and lows around 71° and 48°, respectively.

Don't get used to the autumn preview this week because high temperatures by the end of July will return closer to average in the mid-80s.
