Davenport, Iowa – Storms packing gusty winds may roll into the Iowa–Illinois border region by early Monday afternoon, posing a threat to the Quad Cities metro. A Slight Risk for severe weather is in effect south of the area, with a Marginal Risk near Davenport and Moline, where damaging winds remain the main concern.
According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms arrives between 1 and 4 p.m. Monday.
