Outlook Through the Weekend

Wet Pattern to Persist Into the Start of October

Clouds, spotty light rain chances and seasonably cool conditions will be a mainstay of the forecast through the weekend. There will also be plenty of dry hours and much of the light rain will favor areas south/west of the Quad Cities.

The pattern is set to remain wet as we finish out September and begin October. There will be spotty light rain/showers at times Friday into Sunday, but no impacts are expected as amounts remain light. However, the signal is increasing for a larger storm system with heavy rain toward the middle of next week. This could lead to a renewed flood threat given the wet antecedent conditions. Be sure to monitor the forecast, especially as we get closer to next week.
