Davenport, Iowa – Scattered showers will move across eastern Iowa and western Illinois today, bringing brief downpours and rumbles of thunder before cooler, fall-like air settles in by the weekend. Rainfall totals will be light overall, though localized pockets may pick up to a half-inch.
According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, the heaviest rain will fall this morning into early afternoon, with probabilities around 60% for Davenport, Moline, and Iowa City. Showers will taper off from northwest to southeast by this evening, leaving behind drier but breezy conditions. Lightning and reduced visibility from heavier showers may impact commuters, especially along I-80 and Highway 61.
Another cold front Thursday night will bring additional showers, though chances remain lower at 20% to 50%. Behind the system, temperatures will drop into the 40s at night, giving residents the first taste of autumn heading into the weekend.
Residents are urged to keep an eye on changing road conditions today and limit travel during heavier downpours. Cooler air and a dry stretch Friday into Sunday should make for a more comfortable Labor Day weekend.
