Davenport, Iowa – Warm, sunny weather is on tap for Mother’s Day across Iowa and Illinois, with highs reaching the upper 70s to around 80 degrees. After a chilly night dipping into the low to mid-40s, Sunday promises mostly clear skies and pleasant conditions for outdoor celebrations.
According to the National Weather Service Quad Cities office, winds tonight will remain from the east at 10 to 20 mph, easing slightly to 5 to 15 mph on Sunday. Monday will bring a shift in conditions as clouds increase and scattered showers and storms develop, mainly south of Interstate 80. Highs will climb into the lower 80s before afternoon rain chances rise to 20 to 40 percent.
Communities south of I-80, including Galesburg and Burlington, should prepare for possible afternoon thunderstorms Monday. While severe weather isn’t expected at this time, residents planning travel should remain weather-aware and monitor for updates.
Pleasant weather holds through Sunday evening, but those with early Monday plans should keep an umbrella handy. Storm chances increase through the afternoon, and additional advisories could follow if conditions worsen.
