Special Weather Statement issued October 5 at 3:35AM CDT by NWS Quad Cities IA IL

Effective: Sun October 5, 2025, 3:35 AM
Expires: Sun October 5, 2025, 7:00 PM

A combination of unseasonably warm temperatures, southerly winds gusting 25 to 35 mph, low humidity, and dry cropland will lead to elevated fire danger today. Any fires that ignite, especially in cropland, will spread quickly and could become difficult to control. Therefore, outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, and care should be taken to prevent the start of accidental fires when smoking or operating vehicles and farm equipment around dry vegetation or crops. In addition to the fire risk, motorists should be alert for visibility reductions near farmland as gusty winds could cause dust from harvesting activities to get lofted.

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.
