Showers and thunderstorms will be a good bet for our Wednesday with some spots receiving more than an inch of much-needed rainfall. Rain will be moving from south to north. Notice, our latest Futuretrack computer model gives the Quad Cities more than two inches of rain.
Keep in mind, it would take several multi-day rains (of more than 2 inches) to get our drought situation under control. Temperatures will be kept in check today, thanks to rain and clouds. Most areas will stay in the 70s throughout the day.
