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

QUAD CITIES, Iowa/Ill. (KWQC) -- Showers and thunderstorms will continue through the evening hours, mainly west of the Mississippi River this afternoon. Some of the storms could reach severe limits. Large hail, heavy rain, lightning and some gusty winds are possible with the stronger storms. These will continue to progress to the west, and should diminish as we head later into the evening hours.

The start of the work week will be another hot day. If we reach 90º tomorrow, that would make it the 8th 90º day so far this year.

Come Tuesday, a refreshing cold front will move into the area. Temperatures will top out a bit closer to our average high of 80º. A few isolated storms are possible on Tuesday.

Our next rain chances will come later in the week. There is still some model disagreement on exact placement of this storm system. Wherever this storm does setup, some decent rainfall will occur.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear, hazy and warm overnight. Low: 62°. Wind: E 5-10 mph.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy and unseasonably warm. High: 90°. Wind: NE 5-10 mph.

TUESDAY: Isolated Storms. High: 84º.
