You do not need a meteorologist to tell you it's COLD! But, you may need one to tell you how long it's going to last. I have that answer: A while. Normal highs for this time of the year should be in the middle 40s. Next weekend is the earliest chance we get at cracking 40°! These are the coldest November temperatures the Quad Cities have seen since 1995!
In fact, 6 to 10 days out still looks cold. Here's the Climate Prediction Center's thinking:
Temperatures will be right around 0° in areas north of the Quad Cities such as Maquoketa, IA; Galena, IL; and Mt. Carroll, IL. Elsewhere temperatures will be in the middle to upper single digits---nearly 20° below average. Highs Sunday will remain about 20° below average as well.
Sunday night will be much warmer due to southerly winds as high pressure moves out of the area. This is all ahead of the next disturbance that will make its way through the area Monday bringing a chance for light snow. At this point, accumulations look light, with the best chance of accumulating snow (up to 1") look to be north of Interstate 80. CBS4 will keep you updated!
