Stubborn cloud cover clears overnight; big warmup on the way

Our stubborn cloud cover lingered across much of Minnesota Saturday afternoon, though clearing has already started to develop in southern Minnesota and around parts of the Twin Cities metro. Those skies should continue to improve through the evening, leading to mostly clear conditions overnight and a calmer start to Sunday.
