DAVENPORT, Iowa — A breezy night is setting the stage for a clear, cooler Monday across the Quad Cities, with winds making travel tricky for late-night drivers. Gusts could reach 25 mph overnight, especially along exposed stretches of I-74 and I-80, before easing by sunrise.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will dip to the upper 40s overnight, offering a cool start to the workweek. Monday will bring sun-filled skies and highs near 73 degrees, though northwest winds will still blow at 10 to 15 mph, keeping the air crisp.
Drivers should use caution when traveling overnight as gusty winds may affect high-profile vehicles, particularly on bridges spanning the Mississippi River. Pedestrians and cyclists can also expect challenging conditions this evening with sudden wind bursts.
The quiet and dry pattern continues through midweek. By Tuesday, highs reach the mid-70s with calm overnight lows near 49. Conditions warm slightly by Wednesday, with highs near 76 under mostly sunny skies. The biggest shift arrives Thursday and Friday as the region edges toward 80 degrees, signaling a late-August warm-up.
This stretch of weather offers excellent opportunities for outdoor plans but also highlights the need for layered clothing in the evenings. With no rain in sight, residents should take advantage of the dry spell to complete yardwork or late-summer projects.
More updates may follow if winds strengthen or if conditions shift midweek.
