LANSING, Mich. — Arctic air remains locked in over the Great Lakes tonight, so you'll need to continue dressing in layers if heading out. Mostly cloudy skies early in the evening will give way to some brief clearing between 8:00 PM and about 4:00 AM, before turning cloudier again by daybreak. Temperatures will drop sharply during the clearing, with most lows winding up around 0. Even with lighter westerly wind at 5-10 mph, wind chills will fall to around -10 at times.
