We experienced a beautiful spring weekend in the Quad Cities. Highs on Saturday were in the lower to middle 50s with plenty of sunshine. After a chilly start in the upper 20s on Sunday, plenty of sunshine and gusty southerly winds aided in warming temperatures into the lower to middle 60s. Typically this time of year we should be in the middle 50s.
An area of low pressure will be strengthening to our west and head northeast throughout the day on Friday. Fortunately, we will be on the warm side of the storm with another day of temperatures in the 60s and gusty southerly winds from 15 to 25mph+. The low pressure will have a cold front that will plow through the area later Monday evening, and that's when we have the best shot of seeing scattered showers/isolated t'storms. Out ahead of the front during the day, there is also the threat for a few scattered showers. Rain fall amounts will be a tenth of an inch or less as moisture is limited.
Once the front rolls through, brisk northwest winds will usher in colder temperature for Tuesday. The cool temperatures will continue through the rest of the week, with highs averaging in the upper 40s. We get a break from the rain on Tuesday before more chances of rain come in Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Rain totals could be approaching 1 inch by the end of the week.
