Davenport, Iowa – Wind gusts nearing 25 mph could make driving and outdoor plans more difficult in the Quad Cities on Wednesday, as clouds and lingering dampness keep temperatures in check. Gusty northwest winds are expected to persist through the afternoon and early evening, creating a breezy and brisk feel despite a high near 57°F.
According to the National Weather Service, rain will taper off early Wednesday morning, leaving mostly cloudy skies in place. Northwest winds between 10 to 15 mph—with occasional gusts up to 25 mph—will continue through the day before calming by sunset. Travelers along I-74 and I-80 should use caution due to crosswinds and occasional wet spots, especially in open rural areas.
Looking ahead, Thursday brings a 20% chance of showers early in the day, mainly before 1 p.m., before skies clear and temperatures rise to a comfortable 63°F. Winds remain active but less intense, with gusts reaching up to 20 mph.
Friday and Saturday offer a promising start to the long weekend, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 68–69°F. However, by Sunday night and Memorial Day, scattered showers may return, with a 30–40% chance of rain and slightly cooler temps in the mid-60s.
