What Causes Persistent Muscle Cramps?

My left hand has been (just today, twice) cramped up and almost forced me to make a fist. Not sure if I need to get it looked at? or if just a overuse/cold weather issue? ( I was doing some manual labor today which involved my hands, although nothing I would think would have caused this.
