Due to some morning sunshine on Monday, the day was classified as partly cloudy at Milwaukee. This brought an end of 14 consecutive cloudy days.

The record at Milwaukee is 17 days set Dec 24, 2005-Jan 9, 2006. The streak that just ended ties for second longest, also occurring Dec 2014 and Dec-Jan 1992.

Madison had a run of 12 days that ended Friday. Early Saturday morning there were several hours of mainly clear skies before overcast skies returned. So the average cloud cover for the day ended up being partly cloudy. The record at Madison is a 3 way tie at 14 days. This occurred Dec 12-25, 2014, Dec 25, 2005-Jan 7, 2006, and April 13-26, 1992. This recent streak was the 5th longest.

Cloud cover is determined by greater than 75% cloud cover on average for the day. Records go back to 1965.
