Spring officially began at 11:57am last Thursday, March 20th. The high temperature that day was 52°, and the first full day of the season featured highs around 62°! Temperatures Saturday were in the 40s and on Sunday, they were in the 30s!
Sunday's temperature of 34° was 18° below the average high of 52°. The trend for much of the next week is below average. By Thursday we creep close to 50, and by the end of
next weekend we could be approaching the 60° mark once again.
But before that, a couple bumps. We have a clipper-type system that is going to track southwest of the Quad Cities, bringing us a shot at some light snow. The "heavier" snow is going to stay in southwestern hometowns, where an inch to perhaps two inches will fall. Elsewhere, a half inch to an inch looks like a good bet. This system isn't as organized as it looked a few days ago, and doesn't have much moisture to work with.
Behind the system? More cold air. Lows Monday night into Tuesday will be in the teens and lower 20s, with highs struggling to reach 30° for many areas by Tuesday.
