Davenport, IA – Light snow is expected across portions of Illinois and Iowa from Saturday morning through Saturday night, with potential travel impacts due to slippery roads and icy surfaces. A winter weather advisory is in effect for some areas.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Quad Cities, snowfall accumulations will generally range from 0.5 to 2 inches, with locally higher amounts possible. Areas south of Interstate 80 could experience a wintry mix in the morning, leading to a light glaze of ice. Road conditions may deteriorate, especially in snow-covered areas.
Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and monitor forecast updates for changing conditions. The highest risk of icy surfaces extends from Sterling, IL, to the Ottumwa, IA, line. While snow amounts remain light, the presence of ice could lead to hazardous travel conditions.
The NWS urges residents to stay updated on weather advisories and take precautions when traveling. Snowfall and icy conditions are expected to taper off by late Saturday night.
