Weekend warm spell to bring gusty winds across metro Detroit
While southeast Michigan is getting a taste of spring, winter’s grip isn’t fully gone just yet, according to the National Weather Service.
Southeast Michigan is experiencing a rollercoaster of temperatures so far this month.
Meteorologist Steve Considine with the National Weather Service says March is known for its unpredictable weather, but this year temperatures have fluctuated from well below freezing to highs near 70 degrees within the week.
“March is a month where we tend to see a lot of ups and downs. We’re trying to get into spring, but there are times where winter takes a while to fully get out of here,” Considine said.
Temperatures will continue to climb through the rest of the workweek, reaching the mid-60s on Friday.
However, the warm spell comes with a caveat. A deepening low-pressure system across the central U.S. will drive strong winds into the region, with gusts exceeding 40 miles per hour possible on Saturday. A chance of rain follows Saturday night before cooler air moves in on Sunday.
