Iowa Illinois – Residents across Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, East Moline and Rock Island should prepare for a noticeable temperature drop heading into the second half of the week.
According to the National Weather Service Quad Cities office, temperatures will remain in the lower 60s through Tuesday before colder air arrives around Veterans Day.
The biggest change comes Thursday night, when temperatures are expected to fall to approximately 30 degrees.
Mild November Weather Continues Through Tuesday Sunday, Nov. 8, brings sunny skies and a high near 62 degrees across the Davenport area.
Moline Quad City International Airport reported 41 degrees early Sunday morning, with fair skies and west winds around 9 mph.
Northwest winds could gust to 20 mph during the afternoon.
Monday, Nov. 9, remains mostly sunny, with temperatures reaching approximately 61 degrees.
Tuesday, Nov. 10, brings another sunny afternoon near 62 degrees.
These conditions offer an opportunity for residents to finish leaf cleanup, secure outdoor decorations and prepare gardens before colder temperatures return.
Veterans Day Marks the Beginning of the Cooldown Wednesday, Nov. 11, brings a more noticeable change across the Mississippi River communities.
Partly sunny skies accompany a high near 56 degrees, several degrees cooler than earlier in the week.
Residents attending Veterans Day ceremonies should consider bringing jackets, particularly during morning events.
Temperatures fall toward 37 degrees Wednesday night.
That sets the stage for Thursday's colder conditions.
Thursday Night Temperatures Could Reach 30 Degrees Thursday, Nov. 12, brings mostly sunny skies, but temperatures only reach approximately 49 degrees.
The colder air becomes more noticeable after sunset.
The National Weather Service projects a Thursday night low near 30 degrees, below the freezing mark.
That could threaten sensitive plants and unprotected outdoor vegetation.
Residents should consider protecting remaining garden plants and checking exposed outdoor water connections.
Although freezing temperatures are possible, the supplied forecast does not indicate snow, freezing rain or ice accumulation.
Drivers should not assume icy roads are expected simply because temperatures fall below freezing.
Friday Stays Chilly Before a Weekend Rebound Friday, Nov. 13, remains sunny, with temperatures reaching approximately 47 degrees.
Friday night brings another chilly low near 33 degrees.
Saturday, Nov. 14, offers a modest recovery, with sunshine and a high near 54 degrees.
For now, the forecast favors dry roads and generally favorable travel conditions along Interstate 80, Interstate 74 and Interstate 280.
However, drivers should remain aware of colder early morning temperatures later in the week.

What About Snow Before Thanksgiving? The Quad Cities are entering the part of November when colder air can increasingly support winter precipitation.
However, the current National Weather Service forecast does not show snow through Saturday.
No specific snow accumulation, winter storm or freezing precipitation event is established by the available data.
Residents should continue monitoring updated forecasts as Thanksgiving approaches, particularly if colder temperatures coincide with future precipitation.
For now, the most immediate concern is the shift from mild afternoons to freezing temperatures Thursday night.
