Moline, Illinois – Motorists around Moline should expect reduced visibility and slick roads by midday Monday as storms begin moving across the region. Combined with heat index values nearing 102°F, the start of the workweek poses both travel and health risks.
According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, scattered thunderstorms are expected between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday, July 28, with lingering humidity and heat throughout the afternoon. Dense fog may persist in some river valleys early, particularly near and north of Interstate 80, where visibility could dip below a quarter mile.
After the morning fog clears, conditions will turn hot and sticky, with actual highs near 92°F and south winds at 5 to 10 mph. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity, and monitor road conditions — especially if commuting near local rivers already dealing with minor flooding.
