July 2026 Climate Review

Generally dry conditions will linger into Tuesday, along with seasonal temperatures. Our next chances of showers and storms (40-80%) look to come by Tuesday night and into Wednesday as a cold front approaches the area.

Several rounds of heavy rain occurred across the region early Friday morning into Saturday afternoon. Heaviest rains fell mainly along and north of Interstate 80 and east of the Mississippi River where reports of 2 to 4 inches of rain were common with pockets of 5 to 7 inches. Record rainfall was recorded at both Dubuque and Moline on Friday.
