Davenport, Iowa – Showers and a few isolated thunderstorms could sweep through northern and western parts of Iowa and Illinois late Friday, with rain chances peaking between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.
According to the National Weather Service Quad Cities office, the area has a 20–40% chance of rain overnight, particularly ahead of a cold front impacting counties along the Mississippi River. While no severe storms are expected, residents in cities like Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, and Galesburg should keep an umbrella handy and be alert for slick roads during late-night travel.
Temperatures will tumble behind the front, with Saturday night lows dipping into the 50s and even upper 40s by Sunday and Monday night. The Quad Cities region is expected to experience below-normal temperatures through at least early next week — a notable shift from recent summer highs in the 80s.
Locals are encouraged to prepare for the cool-down by dressing in layers and checking in on vulnerable individuals sensitive to cooler temperatures, especially during overnight hours.
Cool and dry conditions will persist through Monday, with the next weather update likely arriving over the weekend if patterns shift.
