Metro Detroit headed for warming trend

Metro Detroit can expect a quiet week of weather, forecasters say, with no sign of rain or snow and temperatures hovering in the 30s and 40s and a jump to 50 degrees by the weekend.

The sun may peek out a couple days before that, but mostly cloudy skies are predicted through the week, according to the National Weather Service.

Monday and Tuesday will see temperatures in the 40s with light winds, said Steve Considine, meteorologist for the weather service.

However, temperatures could dip into the 20s overnight.

During the weekend, the area could see temperatures rise to 50.

“A pretty dramatic warming trend is in store for next weekend,” Considine said.

However, this doesn’t mean that winter is nearing an end, Considine said.

“At least through late February, things look to remain on the mild side,” he said. “But in Michigan, we can certainly get winter weather right through March.”
