Stubborn clouds are holding temperatures fairly steady for a while this evening, but they are expected to thin out by later tonight, and when they do the temperatures will drop off fairly quickly. The overnight low is expected to be around 10 above, but parts of the area will be close to zero. It will be mostly sunny and cold on Monday as the Canadian high pressure slides across the area. By Monday night when the high is east of the area winds will start to pick oup from the south, and persist though Friday. A warm up will commence on Tuesday, and continue through the rest of the work week. The persistent southerly winds later this week will bring lots of Gulf moisture into the midwest. The warmer moist air riding over our snow cover will bring lots of fog to the area starting on Wednesday night and lasting through Friday. There could be some light freezing rain or drizzle on Wednesday night. On Thursday it will be warm enough for any precipitation that falls to be light rain. On Friday and Friday night there is a potential for heavier rains. With temperatures expected to reach the middle 40s on Friday, and up to an inch of rain, there will be lots snow melt and run off that could cause significant rises on area rivers.
