Quad Cities, IL — Residents across Illinois and Iowa are waking up to subzero temperatures this Friday, with wind chills between -10°F and -20°F creating dangerous conditions. The National Weather Service (NWS) urges locals to dress warmly and limit outdoor exposure to avoid frostbite or hypothermia.
According to the NWS Quad Cities, temperatures will remain near 1°F throughout Friday morning, climbing to a high of 26°F by afternoon. Wind chills will still make conditions feel bitterly cold, particularly for those traveling along I-74. Layers, insulated clothing, and protective accessories such as gloves and hats are critical for anyone venturing outdoors.
Looking ahead, the weekend will bring some relief. Saturday is expected to see highs near 38°F with partly sunny skies, while Sunday could reach 30°F with a mix of clouds and sunshine. However, overnight lows will hover in the teens, so bundling up remains necessary.
By Monday, a warming trend will take hold, with sunny skies and highs nearing 44°F. This pattern continues into Tuesday, bringing milder weather perfect for outdoor activities or travel.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local updates and prepare for fluctuating weather. For immediate assistance with cold-related emergencies, contact local authorities.
