As one winter system moves out today and Sunday, another will be coming in early Monday to take its place.

“That system is coming straight down out of Canada,” meteorologist Mike McClure of the National Weather Service, Davenport, said Friday.

The system will be packing a blast of frigid air that once again will drop overnight lows into the single digits for several days.

What is good about these storm systems is that they will clear out the high particulate matter over the Quad-City region that caused the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, or DNR, to issue air quality advisories on both Thursday and Friday. The advisories included the Quad-City metropolitan area, as well as Clinton and Muscatine. 

For Super Bowl eve, expect cloudy skies with a high near 31 with dry conditions, McClure said.

“High pressure is building in, so I don’t think we’ll see much precipitation if any,” he said.

The clouds will break up somewhat overnight with the mercury dipping to about 17 degrees.

Super Bowl Sunday will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 28 degrees, he said. Clouds will build overnight as the new winter storm system begins moving into the area. The overnight low is expected to be about 22.

McClure said falling snow and winds of up to 25 mph was expected to cause the particulate matter over the Quad-Cities to dissipate Friday night.

The DNR advisory is set to expire at noon today.

Air monitors in Davenport on Thursday detected fine particle levels above Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, standards, at three locations. The threshold is 35 micrograms per cubic meter. However, at Jefferson School, the level was 39, while at Blackhawk Foundry the level was 42. At Hayes School, the level reached 41.

On Friday, Davenport’s level had climbed to 44, according to the DNR.

The particulate problem was fairly widespread both days. On Friday, Clinton’s particulate number reached 38, while Muscatine’s was 43, and Waterloo’s was 47.

Between Thursday and Friday, about an inch of snow fell over the area, McClure said.

However, area police were kept busy by a slew of fender-bender crashes Friday night caused by slick conditions. No serious injuries were reported.

A student of Wood Intermediate School in Davenport suffered minor injuries after being struck by a car Friday in the 5700 block of Division Street. That call came in at 8:52 a.m. 

The driver of a pickup traveling north on Division Street saw the student crossing the street and applied his brakes, but was unable to stop because of road conditions, Davenport Police Cpl. Andrew Waggoner said.
