Special Weather Statement issued January 10 at 2:13PM CST by NWS Quad Cities IA IL

Effective: Sat January 10, 2026, 2:13 PM
Expires: Sat January 10, 2026, 7:00 PM

Areas of light to moderate snow, with embedded heavier snow showers will continue to move eastward across the area through the evening. The heavier snow showers and possible squalls may produce gusty winds up to 35 MPH with passing bouts of sharply reduced visibility down to a half mile, especially south of Highway 30. Any snow accumulations will be localized and generally an inch or less. But there may be still some slushy localized accumulations in spots. The combination of reduced visibility and potential patches of slush on roads may result in difficult travel conditions this evening for some.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
