3 Records Possible With One Week Left In February

There's one week left in February 2014 and two monthly records are guaranteed and a third is almost certain.

With 21.8" of snow accumulating this month, this will go down in the record books as the snowiest February on record in the Quad Cities.

The 1.29" of rain with the thunderstorms Thursday pushed us up to 2.83" of precipitation for the month.  This now ranks as the 10th wettest February on record.

While we could see some flurries or light snow this weekend and a light accumulating snow Monday, below normal precipitation is forecast for the rest of February across eastern Iowa and northern Illinois.

As of yesterday, the average temperature for February in the Quad Cities was 13.1°, making this the third coldest February on record.

Very cold temperatures, about 15°-20° below average, are forecast through much of next week!
