QUAD CITIES, IA/Ill. (KWQC) --Cloudy and cool with showersDrying out by the weekend80s returnAn upper level system is cut off from the main flow, which will lead to lots of clouds and light rain over the next two days. While radar may look busy today, there is a lot of dry air in place that will evaporate much of the rain before it reaches the ground. Because of this drier air, temperatures should still reach the 60s and 70s this afternoon.

QUAD CITIES, IA/Ill. (KWQC) --Cool start to the weekWarming upNot much rainAside from a few showers early today, the rest of the week looks to be on a drier track. Highs today will only reach the low to mid 60s due to stubborn clouds and rain-cooled air. Any shower that does develop this morning will only produce a trace to light measurable rain, so it won’t amount to much. Skies will clear tonight, and after a cool start in the 40s, we’ll warm well into the mid 70s by the afternoon.
