Cool Weather Ends June & Starts July

Even with the recent heat and humidity, June 2013 temperatures are running about a degree below average.  While highs Thursday will be around 90° in the Quad Cities, a cool down this weekend will pretty much guarantee that this month will stay cooler than average.

Scattered showers are in the forecast Friday and Saturday and with the clouds and rain Saturday, highs are likely to stay in the 70s with lows in the 50s.  Sunday will see similar highs and lows.

That will be a cool end to the month of June, but we saw an even cooler high temperature on the last day of June 2009, when it only reached 69°!

Will we see any relief from the chill as we start the new month?  In early July, the average highs and lows are around 86° and 65°.

 NOAA's Climate Prediction Center is forecasting temperatures to be below average for the first six days of July for much of the middle part of the country.
