Chilly Temps to Move into the Quad Cities...



This past Saturday temperatures were well above average as they climbed to near 50°.

That's partially because the QCA was sitting under a ridge in the jest stream while there was a trough in the Central Plains and Western U.S (shown above). So we weren't as cold to start the weekend. However, the trough in the jet stream to our West was keeping much of that region pretty chilly.

While this trough will lift further to North this week, it won't lift far enough to the North to keep the colder temperatures from moving into the Quad Cities (shown below).




Once, the trough moves into our region overnight lows will be in the teens with high temperatures in the upper 20s, which is well below our average for this time of the year (shown below).
