Is It Too Early To Snow???

High temperatures since autumn started Sunday have been in the 70s.  The highs today through Saturday will likely be in the 80°-83° range, which is about ten degrees above average.  It was much different this week last year.

By this time in 2012, we already had our first "Freeze Watch" (the blue shading) and a record low of 30° on September 24th.

This September, the coldest temperature, officially, in the Quad Cities is 39° back on the 14th.

If that doesn't put a chill in you and make you thankful that it's still nice and warm out there, it was on this date back in 1942 that the Quad Cities experienced its early measurable snowfall on record of 0.1"!

While only 0.1" accumulated in the Quad Cities, some parts of Iowa saw up to 4" of snow!

Rain is possible Saturday and Saturday night, but no snow is in the CBS4 7-or-10-day forecast.
