Cloud cover has been rather slow to clear Thursday afternoon following the thick blanket of fog some woke up to earlier in the day. Despite the drier air moving behind the rain Wednesday evening, moisture trapped right down near the surface has been stubborn to clear out. In turn, this had led to cloudy skies across much of the Midwest.
The cloud cover has limited our overall temperature spread throughout the day, starting out in the upper 40s this morning, but only warming into the low 50s this afternoon. As the sun sets tonight it will likely set up another temperature inversion (warm air overtop cold air) which will help hold the cloud cover in place.
Fog will redevelop tonight with the lingering low-level moisture, leading to foggy conditions for Friday morning. Temperatures won't drop off much Thursday night, likely staying in the mid-40s. As cloud cover begins to depart Friday, we'll see conditions clear from west to east through the afternoon. The slower departure of the cloud cover will likely leave temperatures in the low to mid 50s for Friday afternoon.
