Davenport, Iowa – Summer settles in over eastern Iowa this Wednesday with brilliant sunshine and comfortable humidity, but a heat surge and possible Friday storms are just ahead. Residents in Davenport and nearby communities should take advantage of Wednesday’s mostly sunny, dry weather as temperatures push to a seasonable 86°F.
According to the National Weather Service, calm winds and low humidity will make Wednesday and Thursday ideal for outdoor plans, yard work, or a walk along River Drive. By Thursday, highs near 88°F and light breezes signal the warmest stretch of the week, but changes arrive fast.

Travelers are advised to stay weather-aware, avoid flooded roads, and review safety plans if storms develop quickly.
Showers and scattered thunderstorms may continue into Friday night, followed by drier but warm conditions for Saturday. Outdoor plans Saturday look good with highs in the mid-80s, but spotty afternoon storms remain possible. Sunday and Monday turn sunny again with temperatures near 85–89°F, offering a solid start to the new week.
