Record warmth with scattered rain showers, wind advisory in Metro Detroit

Temperatures continue to rise in the aftermath of a passing warm front. We will likely rise into the upper 50s through mid-morning which will break the previous record of 55 degrees set in 1880 and 1949. Temperatures will fall through the afternoon behind the cold front. We drop about 20 degrees from 10AM to 8PM where we will drop into the upper 30s later this evening.

Don’t forget to grab an umbrella this morning. Scattered showers will persist until mainly 10AM until the trailing cold front pushes rain chances off to the east. We will be drier, but cooler this afternoon.
