Finally, Some Measurable Rain in the Quad Cities

We saw a few rain drops falling from the skies across eastern Iowa and northern Illinois Wednesday afternoon.  Some of you saw nothing, some a few sprinkles, and some a few downpours.

0.02" of rain officially fell at the Quad City International Airport in Moline, Illinois, ending our 36-day stretch with no measurable rain.

However, in Burlington, Iowa, while you may get a shower this evening or tonight, as of 4 p.m. Wednesday, you were were still dry.  If you make it to midnight with no rain, this will be the 43rd consecutive day with no measurable rain there.

If you miss out on the rain this time around, hang on.  There's still a decent chance of showers coming in late Saturday night and Sunday.
