MOLINE, Ill. — Because last Friday's powerful winds and tornadoes weren't enough, more severe storms are expected to hit the Quad Cities area on Tuesday.
Storms are already in the Quad Cities area and are likely again from about 2 p.m. Tuesday to 3 a.m. Wednesday. The storms are expected to come in two distinct waves — one in the afternoon into early evening and another as the calendar turns to Wednesday.
The first wave is forecasted to be more severe and could include a high hail threat and strong tornadoes. The range of significant storms envelops the entire Quad City area.
StormTrack8 is monitoring the storm as it passes through the Quad Cities area. Check below for the latest updates.
