Davenport, Iowa – Strong to isolated severe storms could sweep across the Quad Cities region Saturday afternoon and evening, bringing the potential for gusty winds and heavy downpours before a welcome drop in humidity.
According to the National Weather Service Quad Cities office, there’s a 50–70% chance of storms developing Saturday PM, especially along and east of the Mississippi River. The agency has placed the region under a Level 1 out of 5 severe threat, with the greatest risks tied to isolated strong cells during the late-day hours.
Highs on Saturday are expected to climb into the low to mid-90s, with heat index values reaching between 92 and 98 degrees. Cities like Davenport, Moline, and Rock Island should stay alert for fast-moving storms that could briefly disrupt evening travel and outdoor plans.
By Sunday, lingering morning showers will give way to drier and more seasonable air. Highs will hover in the low to mid-80s through early next week, offering some relief after a steamy start to July.
