If today’s weather has you thinking spring is finally here, don’t let it fool you. The Quad Cities are in for a wild temperature swing—we’re talking mid-60s this afternoon, but by tonight? The 20s. And to make things even more interesting, we’ve got rain, possible thunderstorms, and gusty winds all rolling in before the big chill.
What’s Happening?
Spring Vibes This Afternoon (Highs in the 60s) – It’ll feel absolutely perfect outside for a few hours, but don’t get too attached.
Rain & Storms Moving In – A cold front is on the way, bringing scattered showers and possibly a few rumbles of thunder later today.
Brace for a Temperature Crash (Lows in the 20s) – Once the rain moves out, a blast of cold air will send temperatures plummeting.
Gusty Winds Will Make It Feel Even Colder – As temperatures drop, expect strong winds to add an extra bite to the air.
How to Handle This Weather Rollercoaster
Dress for Two Different Seasons – It might be short-sleeve weather this afternoon, but by tonight, you’ll want a heavy coat.
Keep an Umbrella Handy – Showers and storms could pop up anytime later today, so don’t get caught unprepared.
Watch for Icy Spots Tomorrow Morning – With temperatures plunging below freezing overnight, wet roads and sidewalks could turn slick.
The cold sticks around for a couple of days, but don’t worry—warmer weather should return next week.
