Davenport, Iowa – Storms could disrupt travel and outdoor plans in Davenport Tuesday, as scattered showers and possible thunderstorms develop after 10 a.m., capping a warm 82°F afternoon. A 50% chance of rain threatens to bring localized downpours and lightning to parts of eastern Iowa just as summer-like heat begins to build.
According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, conditions will shift quickly: calm winds Tuesday morning will turn southeast around 5 mph, and skies will remain mostly cloudy overnight. The rain threat diminishes by Tuesday night, with lows near 61°F. This sets the stage for a major warm-up across the region.
