Quad Cities, IA/IL – Accumulating snow could impact parts of eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois Sunday into Sunday night.
According to the National Weather Service Quad Cities, areas south of Interstate 80 currently have the better potential for a few inches of accumulation, along with at least minor travel impacts. Forecasters emphasize that the storm track remains uncertain, which could shift snowfall amounts and locations.
Probability data shows increasing chances of minor travel impacts farther south. Areas near Waterloo and Dubuque show around a 10% risk, while Cedar Rapids and the Quad Cities are closer to 20%. Burlington and areas toward Kirksville show higher probabilities ranging from 40% to 50%.
Meteorologists note that any forecast trends would likely favor a southward shift in the system. Exact snowfall totals, placement, and overall impacts will depend on how the storm develops over the next several days.
Drivers traveling along and south of I-80 Sunday afternoon and evening may want to monitor updated forecasts, particularly those with weekend return travel plans.
The system remains several days out, and forecast adjustments are possible. Additional updates are expected as confidence increases.
