  "More typical weather for summer is moving in," said David Sheets, Quad City meteorologist for the National Weather Service.
  ...
  According to Sheets, the last time the temperature in Burlington reached 90 degrees was in late June.
  ...
  Though it's impossible to point a finger at one global cause, Sheets said the jet stream from of the northwest has been bringing in cooler air from Canada for the past month.
  ...
  Sheets said the extreme heat will be just as dangerous for people and suggested those who can should stay in an air-conditioned room during the hottest part of the day. He said heat advisories likely will be issued this weekend, although the NWS had not issued any as of Thursday night.

  David Sheets, a meteorologist with the Quad Cities National Weather Service, said temperatures this afternoon were freezing and below north of Interstate 80.
  
  He said he expected the freezing line to continue moving northward this evening, resulting in rain for most of the area.
  
  However, those temperatures will fall to 25 degrees tomorrow at 5 p.m. in Iowa City.
  
  Snowfall will likely make for a complicated evening commute Tuesday before the storm leaves the area.
  
  "The whole thing should be out of the area by midnight" Wednesday, Sheets said.
  
  Sheets characterized the storm as "tricky to predict" because temperatures will be hovering near freezing.

  "The higher the humidity, the warmer it makes it feel," National Weather Service meteorologist David Sheets said, adding that the dew point has been in the low-to-mid 70s, which is about as high as it gets in the summer.
  
  Mr. Sheets said the Quad-Cities had unusually cool weather for the end of spring and beginning of summer, and folks aren't used to the heat.
  
  "We've made a pretty big jump for people to get acclimated to," he said.
  ...
  "'Tis the season for nasty, miserably hot weather," Mr. Sheets said.

  "It's setting up for the next couple weeks to be pretty active, with a favorable pattern for chances of snow every three days or so," said David Sheets, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Davenport office. "It's somewhat reminiscent of last year."
  
  Sheets said had the ground been frozen when flakes started flying Saturday, up to five inches would have piled up. However, ground warmth melted much of the early snow, limiting accumulation to between one and three inches across the region.
  
  Another fast-moving snowstorm is bearing down on the Quad-Cities and is expected to arrive Wednesday, Sheets said. This time, the snow will stick.
  
  "Pavement temperatures have fallen below freezing," he said. "Barring any big warmup, which I don't anticipate, the next snowstorm should accumulate on the ground."
  
  He said it's a bit early to get a good read on snowfall totals, but the models predict another one to three inches Wednesday. Long-range, another snowstorm could be on the way Saturday, he said.

  "Many of our crests and trends have been revised upward in the last day - a lot more rain fell than was expected when these models were first run," said David Sheets, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service (NWS) in the Quad Cities.
  
  The Cedar River in Cedar Rapids is now predicted to crest at 18.9 feet Tuesday morning, according to Sheets.The river's predicted crest Friday was 18.5 feet.
  
  Sheets said the NWS is directing most of its attention to the Independence area of the Wapsipinicon River, where major flooded is projected as a possibility.
