Some Heavy Rains Could Fall in the Quad Cities....

It's going to be pretty nice to start the week. There will be a great deal of sunshine on Monday, but late Monday night into Tuesday a strong area of low pressure is going to move into the Quad Cities and produce a good deal of rain.

Some weather models are suggesting the rain could be rather heavy on Tuesday. Check out the forecasted rain totals for this first half of the upcoming week (shown below). The darker, brighter colors inidicate areas of heavier rainfall.

Neighborhoods around the Quad Cities and in Eastern Iowa are shaded in purple. This suggests that we could pick up close 2 inches of rain or even a little bit more by Tuesday night (the scale is in inches on left hand side of the map).

Areas to the East of the QCA, like Princeton, IL, Sterling, and Dixon, could pick up a little less (shaded in light blue), but it still would be an inch or more! We'll have to wait and see, so stay with CBS4 for the latest!
