Quad Cities, IA/IL – Another round of winter weather is set to impact the Midwest this week, bringing a mix of rain, snow, and strong winds to Iowa and Illinois by Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Quad Cities, a strong March storm is expected to affect portions of the region midweek. The system will bring rain and snow, along with gusty winds that could lead to reduced visibility and hazardous travel conditions. While temperatures will warm briefly on Monday and Tuesday, fire danger will increase due to dry conditions before winter weather returns.
The exact track of the storm remains uncertain, but snowfall amounts, wind speeds, and precipitation timing will depend on the storm’s final path. Areas in eastern Iowa and northwestern Illinois could see the highest impacts, though specific totals are yet to be determined.
Residents are advised to monitor weather updates and prepare for potential travel disruptions. The NWS urges caution on the roads, as rapidly changing conditions may lead to slick surfaces and visibility concerns.
