Davenport, Iowa – Summer heat builds fast across eastern Iowa this weekend, with highs pushing 90°F by Sunday and storms brewing by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, Sunday, June 1 will be mostly sunny and warm, reaching a high near 83°F. But by Monday, temps will climb to 91°F, bringing in classic early-June heat. Thunderstorm chances return Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night, with potential for locally heavy rainfall and possible flash flooding, especially along the I-74 corridor.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires will also linger through early next week. While mostly aloft, some smoke may dip to the surface, causing minor reductions in air quality—especially during calm overnight hours.

The risk of severe weather is still uncertain, but residents are urged to monitor updates and secure outdoor items ahead of storms.
