Rain, Strong Winds and Cold Expected

Whiteside County Health Department's Public Relations and Communications Director Cory Law has provided information from the National Weather Service of the Quad Cities regarding rain, wind and cold temperatures which could impact the evening commute:
  • Multi-faceted system with rain, strong winds, plummeting temps and scattered snow showers expected over the next 12 hours. A Wind Advisory is in effect.
  • Travel impacts are possible for the evening commute. If any wet pavement lingers as temperatures plummet by mid afternoon into early evening, it could refreeze and lead to slick and potentially hazardous travel. Much lower confidence though on how wet pavement will be when this much colder air arrives. In addition, scattered snow showers are expected from 2-9 p.m.. Any falling snow combined with strong winds could lead to localized very poor visibility for short periods of time. Little snow accumulation is expected.  
  • Bitter cold tonight and Friday morning with wind chills 0 to -15.
