Quad Cities, IL – Snowfall along the Mississippi River is expected to taper off Sunday morning, but another storm system could impact the Midwest by mid-week, bringing rain, snow, and strong winds.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Quad Cities, accumulating snow has created slushy and slick road conditions in parts of north-central, northwest, and west-central Illinois, as well as portions of Iowa and Missouri. Motorists are urged to drive cautiously as roads and bridges may remain hazardous.
Looking ahead, warm and breezy conditions early in the week could heighten fire risks Monday and Tuesday. A strong storm system is expected to arrive mid-week, potentially bringing a mix of rain and snow, along with gusty winds. Forecasters warn of uncertainty regarding the storm’s exact track and intensity, emphasizing the need for residents to stay updated.
The NWS encourages the public to report snowfall amounts exceeding one inch to aid forecasting efforts. Travelers should monitor road conditions and be prepared for changing weather throughout the week.
