Last Full Week of July?

Yesterday I posted the Climate Prediction Center's forecast for the next 6 to 10 days, and the trends showed cooler than normal temperatures for the region.  I continue to see that trend in the forecast.  In fact, I have a temperature in the upper 70s in the 7 Day Forecast!

We'll see a pretty warm day Monday with temperatures reaching the mid to upper 80s.  It will also be humid, with dew point temperatures in the upper 60s to around 70°.

As mentioned, a change is on the way.  Another cold front has it's eyes on the Quad Cities, and will roll on through the area late Monday afternoon and evening, bringing with it the chance for a few more scattered showers & thunderstorms.  This won't be a widespread event, and severe weather does not look like a threat.

Tuesday, our temperatures drop to the lower 80s and the humidity drops as well.  Here's the 7-Day outlook.  Look at BIX WEEKEND!  Big contrast to last year, that's for sure!

Of course, the Bix is still about 6 days out, and newer data coming in does show the rain could be out in time for the road race.  The CBS4 weather team will keep you updated throughout the week!
