Hello Everyone!! After several ugly autumn days around the Quad Cities we finally broke out a good dose of sun and with it some very pleasant fall temperatures. The good news is that we'll get a chance to enjoy more of this nice autumn weather right through the weekend. The big concern was how much cloudiness would be in the picture these next couple of days. Naturally, this would have an impact on temperatures. By looking at the latest computer models, it appears that more sun will rule the skies this weekend than the cloudiness..so mid 50s are a sure bet for afternoon highs both days. This takes us to the all important holiday week. Lets first talk about the obvious. The cold air will be pouring next week with the coldest of the air heading into Thanksgiving Day with afternoon temperatures expected in the upper 30s. The transition to this cold air will be a frontal boundary that is scheduled to arrive later on Monday. A few light showers will pop up later that day with another wave of moisture expected to arrive that night into Tuesday morning. Likely this is the wave that will have a rain or a rain/snow mix. In the days heading to Thanksgiving, disturbances aloft will pass through creating enough instability for maybe a few flurries or light snow showers. Once again driving to Grandma's house will be fine. Just make sure you give yourself time to warm up the car. Have a great weekend!!!!
