Overcast and mild; cooler risks return next week

Overcast skies continue to cover such a large area from eastern Montana to Michigan today. If you want a decent amount of sunshine today, one would have to travel to western South Dakota (Rapid City area)

…Weather Summary…

A stagnant winter weather pattern featuring lots of clouds, a light breeze along with mild temperatures will remain with us over the next few days. There could also be some patchy fog, haze, flurries and freezing drizzle at times, but no major impacts to travel are expected with little if any snow/ice accumulation.

Mostly cloudy skies continue tonight, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but we may see some breaks in the clouds develop at times allowing for at least a little bit of sun over the next few days.

Lows tonight and Monday night will be in the teens and 20s with highs Monday and Tuesday in the 20s to lower 30s.

There will be some cold air advection which moves south out of Ontario and into the Northland from late Monday into Wednesday which will send 850mb temperatures down to around -10 to -15C, but this won’t really do much to the surface temperatures which remain mild for this time of the year.
