QUAD CITIES, Iowa/Ill. (KWQC) – YOUR FIRST ALERT FORECAST FROM CHIEF METEOROLOGIST ERIK MAITLAND
***FIRST ALERT DAYS THROUGH THURSDAY FOR HEAT AND STORMS***
Stay informed and stay safe Wednesday evening and Thursday! We’ll see multiple rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms. After a round of strong storms Wednesday evening, morning and afternoon through evening rounds of storms Thursday will bring another potential period of damaging wind and hail. The evening rounds will bring the additional threat of tornadoes.

Extreme humidity for June will mean Thursday highs will climb to the 80s with heat indexes of 90 to 100+ in the afternoon. Periods of rain with any storms will cool temperatures and drop the heat indexes.
Thursday a front will move through later in the day. This will bring the final round of strong storms. We’ll be tracking a chance for tornadoes with this front. Some models are getting the front through earlier which might end our storm threat before mid-evening.
Friday brings improving conditions. Dry weather will last through the weekend with less heat and humidity. There might be some thundershowers Saturday but they won’t effect your early daytime plans. Highs will stay in the 80s with a bit less humidity. By Monday and Tuesday highs may only reach the 70s with another chance for rain.
