DAVENPORT, Iowa – A crisp fall preview has settled over the Quad Cities, bringing daytime highs in the 70s and overnight lows dipping into the 40s through early week. The cooler stretch is more typical of early October than late August, with residents waking up to jacket weather each morning.
According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, Sunday afternoon may see a few isolated showers north and east of the metro, but skies are expected to clear tonight as lows fall between 46 and 51 degrees. Monday will bring plenty of sunshine with highs again ranging from 68 to 75, before another cool night settles in with lows near 45 to 50.
The shift has many across eastern Iowa and western Illinois reaching for sweatshirts during evening events and preparing for cooler mornings at the bus stop. Drivers should expect reduced visibility in rural areas early Monday and Tuesday as cool, clear nights could lead to patchy fog.
The early taste of fall looks to hold through midweek, with temperatures remaining below seasonal averages. More updates will follow if a pattern change signals warmer air returning.
