Davenport, Iowa – A second winter storm is expected to bring accumulating snow to parts of the region starting Friday night and continuing into Saturday.
The National Weather Service Quad Cities warns that snowfall accumulations are likely in parts of eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois, with the chance of receiving 2 inches or more at 40-60%. However, there remains some uncertainty regarding the track and strength of the storm, as well as how air and pavement temperatures will influence snowfall amounts.
The exact amount of snow expected will depend on these factors, making the forecast subject to change. The primary concern is for minor travel impacts, as the snow is expected to affect roads and visibility, particularly for those traveling late Friday night and early Saturday morning.
The highest likelihood for heavier snow exists north of Davenport, with up to 2 inches of snow possible in some areas. Travelers are advised to continue monitoring forecasts as the storm approaches, as conditions may change rapidly.
If you have travel plans for Friday night or Saturday, prepare for potentially slick roads and reduced visibility, especially in areas expected to receive the heaviest snow.
