DAVENPORT, IA — Frosty lawns, chilly morning air and rising river concerns are creating a contrasting November weather picture across eastern Iowa and western Illinois.

River Flooding Remains a Concern Although the Quad Cities expect several days of dry weather, minor flooding remains an issue along the Iowa and North Skunk rivers.
The outlook does not indicate widespread flooding across Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island or Moline.
However, residents near affected waterways should avoid flooded roads, low lying areas and river access points where water levels remain elevated.
The NWS reports a low probability of widespread hazardous weather from Sunday through Friday.
