Mild early on Thursday. Then wind and colder

QUAD CITIES, Iowa/Ill. (KWQC) -- YOUR FIRST ALERT FORECAST FROM CHIEF METEOROLOGIST ERIK MAITLAND:

Overnight lows will span the teens to near 20 in the QCA as our wind shifts top the south/southwest. Clear skies will remain overhead, but some fog could form

north of Highway 30. Thursday an Arctic cold front will arrive. This means we’ll have sun and highs in the 30s early in the day. As the front arrives in the

afternoon it will bring some clouds, possibly a few flurries, and much windier conditions with falling temperatures. With wind chills heading for -10 to -25 or

colder Friday morning, we’ll likely have a First Alert Day in effect for the bitter morning start! Highs with clouds and sun Friday will only get back to the

single digits north to the teens south. Saturday will start with lows in the single digits followed by a nice warm-up due to a shift in winds as we head back

to highs well into the 30s to near 40. Into next week highs will start off in the 40s. There will be a chance for rain between late Monday and early Tuesday but

the exact timing has yet to be determined.

TONIGHT: MOSTLY CLEAR. FOG NORTH OF HWY. 30? LOW: 17°. WIND: S/SW 5-10

THURSDAY: MOSTLY SUNNY TO PARTLY CLOUDY. BECOMING WINDY & COLDER. HIGH: 32°. WIND: BCMG. W/NW 10-15/25

FRIDAY: EARLY CHILLS: -10/-25. MOSTLY CLOUDY. HIGH: 14°
