Quad Cities

A chance of severe weather this evening

By Sean Kennedy,

2026-08-21

Before we head into what is looking to be a very nice weekend in the Quad Cities, we are watching for some storms later today.

The futurecast is showing these storms developing later in the afternoon and into the evening with potentially strong storms.

Depending on where these storms start to develop, there is the chance that they will pop up in our area through the evening.

And so, the National Weather Service is giving us a slight risk of severe weather with the chance of strong winds and heavy rain, as well as large hail and potential tornadoes.

Mississippi Mud Potatoes Are the Side Dish Everyone Devours

Mississippi Mud Potatoes coat tender diced potatoes in a creamy mixture of cheddar, cream cheese, and sour cream. As the casserole bakes, the sauce melts around every potato and the top develops bubbling, golden patches. Bacon can bring smoky crunch, while onions or green onions add savory freshness. The finished dish is rich, cheesy, and substantial enough to challenge the main course for attention.

Mississippi Lil’ Smokies Bring Buttery, Peppery, Savory Flavor to the Party and Disappear by the Too

These Mississippi Lil’ Smokies take the familiar party sausage and give it that bold, buttery flavor that makes the serving dish hard to walk past. The little smoked sausages simmer until hot and juicy while a savory, tangy sauce coats every bite, with peppery seasoning adding just enough kick to keep things interesting. As they cook, the sauce becomes richer and clings to the Smokies, creating that glossy finish that practically demands a toothpick and “just one more.” They’re salty, smoky, buttery, and wonderfully saucy—the kind of unfussy appetizer that tends to vanish long before the party winds down.

Why Do Hardboiled Egg Yolks Turn Green? Experts Respond

You peel a hard-boiled egg, cut it in half and find a greenish-gray ring around the yolk. It can look unappetizing, especially when you were expecting a bright yellow center. Food experts have a reassuring explanation: That familiar ring is a harmless chemical reaction. It usually means the egg cooked too long, rather than that the egg has spoiled.

7 Christmas Eve Dishes Different American Families Swore By

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. On December 24th, the question was never what to cook for Christmas Eve supper. It was already decided, usually before anyone in the house was born. In Texas, that meant tamales. In Minnesota, lutefisk. In New Mexico, a pot of posole that had gone on the stove that morning. Each family treated the meal as settled law, and each was absolutely certain their version was the correct one.

7 Boarding-House Suppers From the Mid-Century Common Table

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Boarders and lodgers in American households peaked at about 4.6 million in 1930, and rooming houses were still a fixture of working life through the decades that followed. Mill towns, port cities, factory districts, and railroad junctions all had them: a narrow frame house with six or eight boarders, a weekly rate pinned to the front door, and a landlady who set supper on the table at six o'clock whether you were there or not. The arrangement worked because rent included meals, and meals were the whole point.
