Davenport, IA – A winter storm is expected to bring significant snowfall to the Quad Cities region, including eastern Iowa and northwestern Illinois, on Wednesday, with accumulations potentially exceeding 6 inches in some areas.

According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, confidence is increasing that snowfall will begin early Wednesday and continue into the night. Areas such as Davenport, Moline, Rock Island, and Bettendorf could see between 4 to 6 inches of snow, with localized higher totals possible.

Forecasters warn that travel conditions will deteriorate as the day progresses, with snow-covered roads and reduced visibility making commutes hazardous. Residents should plan for slow travel and allow extra time for transportation.

Authorities recommend monitoring local forecasts and preparing for possible winter weather advisories or warnings. The system is expected to move out by early Thursday, improving conditions gradually.
