Highs in the 40s

DETROIT – Welcome to Saturday and the final weekend of February, Motown.

It will be wet and slippery this morning then dryer in the afternoon. Temperatures are going back above normal again. After a chilly night, it becomes even milder, tomorrow. Chillier weather returns early next week, but it remains mostly dry and seasonable.

Rain showers and some freezing rain will be leaving Detroit in Southeast Michigan Saturday morning. It will be the wettest and slickest well before sunrise.
