According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, tonight will feature passing clouds and lows in the mid-30s, followed by another dry and partly sunny day Thursday. Afternoon highs will reach the mid-50s with a light west breeze. A dry frontal system will cross the area Friday, shifting winds northwesterly and ushering in cooler air for Saturday.
Despite the front, no rain is expected, and skies will remain partly sunny into the weekend.
