    QUAD CITIES, IA/Ill. (KWQC) -- YOUR FIRST ALERT FORECAST FROM CHIEF METEOROLOGIST ERIK MAITLAND:After some mixed clouds and sun, Monday, the clouds will continue to thicken overnight. That could lead to a light shower or two, but our rain chances look better for Tuesday – especially early. Any rain we get over the next few days will be light but the increase in clouds will serve to keep us a bit cooler through midweek.
