Record September Heat

The record heat that the Quad Cities area has seen in the last few days will finally come to an end as a cold front sags through the area on Wednesday, bringing with it the chance for some scattered showers and t'storms.

As you can see, the record was tied on September 9th, and broken on September 10th.  Factoring in the humidity, it felt more like 100° to 105°!

Burlington also saw record highs on September 9th & 10th.  The record high was tied at 100° on 9/9, which was previously set in 1912.  On 9/10, the mercury reached 98°, beating the old record of 97° set back in 1933!

Once the cold front moves through, temperatures are going to cool down into the lower 70s by the weekend, which will feel nice and refreshing!  No 90 degree temperatures in site.
