Warmer & Wet Weather On The Way

March 2013 temperatures in the Quad Cities ended up 7.7° below average.  29 of the month's 31 days were below average.  And, things haven't changed for April.  After just the first two days of the month, we're running 12.2° below average.

You've probably already noticed a slow warming trend that's underway.  We've warmed from 41° Monday to 47° Tuesday and it should be in the low-to-mid-50s today and close to 60° Thursday and Friday.

And, this temperature forecast from NOAA for April 8-12, 2013, should make you happy if you've been wondering where spring is.

Hopefully, this warming will continue to thaw the ground and allow the spring rains to soak in instead of running off into area streams and rivers.

Unsettled weather is likely from Sunday night through the early part of next week with showers and thunderstorms. This is something that the CBS4 weather team will be watching closely.

Have a great day and enjoy the rest of your week and thank you for checking out our blog.
