Saturday morning is still looking cold across the area, with a forecast low around 31.

For comparison, the record low for October 17 is 23, set back in 1948. So while Saturday morning could bring the first widespread freeze of the season for many locations, we are currently forecasting temperatures about 8 degrees above the record.

The bigger story will be the potential for widespread freezing temperatures across eastern Iowa and western Illinois, especially in rural and normally colder locations. Some spots could end up a few degrees colder than the 31 forecast depending on how quickly winds decrease and skies clear Friday night.

If you still have sensitive plants, flowers or gardens outside, Friday evening would be the time to get them protected.

There are several things to watch over the next few days across eastern Iowa and western Illinois.

Thursday: Showers will become widespread across the area. The futurecast continues to show numerous showers developing through the day, with some capable of producing moderate to heavy rain.

Friday: Once the system pulls away, the weather changes quickly. Strong winds will become the main story, with widespread gusts around 40–50 MPH possible across much of eastern Iowa and western Illinois. Secure outdoor objects and be prepared for difficult driving conditions, especially for high-profile vehicles.

Saturday morning: Then comes the cold. The latest trends continue to support a widespread freeze across much of the region, with many locations potentially falling into the upper 20s to lower 30s. This could be the first significant freeze of the season for many areas, so anyone with sensitive plants should prepare to protect them.

So we go from rain to possible a few thunderstorm for Thursday with cold front passes through Thursday night to strong winds Friday to freezing temperatures Saturday morning.

Quite the October weather swing in just about 48 hours.

The Holiday Train makes a return next month on the 24th of November.

The CPKC Holiday Train will be making its way through our area on Tuesday, November 24, with three stops across eastern Iowa!

The current schedule shown on the graphic is Clinton from 3:15–3:45 PM, Davenport from 6:00–6:30 PM, and Muscatine from 7:45–8:15 PM.

The train will travel south along the rail line from Clinton through Davenport before continuing toward Muscatine, bringing the lights, music and holiday atmosphere with it.

If you’re planning on attending, I would recommend getting to your location early, especially in Muscatine and Davenport where crowds can become pretty large.

I’ll also be watching the weather forecast for November 24 as we get closer and will have a detailed Holiday Train forecast covering temperatures, wind, precipitation chances and what it may feel like while everyone is outside waiting for the train.

CLINTON: 3:15–3:45 PM
DAVENPORT: 6:00–6:30 PM
MUSCATINE: 7:45–8:15 PM

The performers this year will be Magic and Maris.

Save the date — November 24!
And yes, I’ll be keeping a close eye on the weather because nobody wants to stand outside waiting for the Holiday Train in freezing rain, snow, or very cold air.

Friday is looking increasingly windy across eastern Iowa and western Illinois. The latest guidance continues to support widespread wind gusts around 40–50 MPH, especially from the late morning into the afternoon.

Not everyone will necessarily reach 50 MPH, but gusts frequently reaching 40–45 MPH look very possible, with a few locations potentially approaching 50 MPH.

These winds will be strong enough to blow around unsecured outdoor objects, make driving more difficult for high-profile vehicles, and bring down some small branches. With leaves still on many trees, the wind may also have a little more to push against.

This is something I’ll continue watching closely over the next couple of days, but confidence is increasing that Friday will be a very windy day across much of the area.

10/13/2026

Well, like I’ve been saying, this week was going to turn active.

And guess what? Next week is already showing signs of becoming active again, with another opportunity for heavy rain developing across the region.

I don’t want to get too far into the details just yet because I don’t want to cause any confusion with everything we still have to get through this week. I’ll give a more detailed update either tomorrow or Thursday, once we get past the current system and can focus more clearly on next week.

There’s still plenty of time to work out the exact timing, placement, and rainfall amounts, but the overall pattern continues to favor another active stretch of weather next week.

10/13/2026

Update as of 11:00 PM..

There are some changes to the forecast for tonight, Wednesday, but no changes for Thursday, or Saturday morning.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are still expected between roughly 8:00 PM tonight and 1:00 AM Wednesday but mainly south the area. Some storms may be capable of producing gusty winds, hail, and heavy rain but again to our far south.

A few rain showers will still be possible during the day Wednesday, but most of the rain is expected during the morning hours to our south.

Thursday remains the next best chance for showers and thunderstorms, with rain chances around 80% at this point.

Then we turn much colder heading into Friday with highs only in the 50s but will feel much cooler and Friday night and Saturday morning freeze is still possible, with overnight lows potentially falling into the upper 20s to lower 30s in most locations in the region.
