Description

…Arctic cold front blasting through the Midwest… An Arctic cold this evening was moving into eastern Iowa and will continue pushing across northwest Illinois later this evening. Expect wind gusts initially between 40 and 50 mph with the frontal passage which could be problematic if you are traveling, especially in a high profile vehicle.

The front will reach the Dubuque to Cedar Rapids area around 9 pm, the Freeport to Quad Cities to Burlington area around 10 pm, and Macomb to Princeton, Illinois around 11 pm.

The cold air will follow an hour or two behind the wind shift, and low temperatures by sunrise tomorrow will range from the single digits north and west of the Quad Cities to the lower teens south and east. Subzero wind chills are expected area-wide at that time.
