Quad Cities, Iowa and Illinois showers south of I-80 May 15

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

Air quality is dropping because of smoke from Canadian fires making it closer to the surface, especially across Iowa. This could be a trend for another day

or two. After lows dipping to around 50 Wednesday night, there will be a bit of a cool down Thursday and Friday with highs in the 70s. Dry weather continues for

the holiday weekend with low to mid 80s and more sunshine into Memorial Day. Highs Monday will be in the upper 80s to near 90, and that warmth will continue through

the middle of next week. Rain chances are next to nothing, but next Wednesday into Thursday some rain to our west could get close to the QCA!

TONIGHT: BECOMING PARTLY CLOUDY & BREEZY. LOW: 49°. WIND: NE - 15/25

THURSDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY. BREEZY AND COOLER. HIGH: 73°. WIND: E 10-15/20
