(WWJ) Not that we're complaining, but what is going on with this weather?
Temperatures in Michigan have been unseasonably toasty, with warmer weather metro Detroit than in California for the last few days.
The National Weather Service said the high temperature hit 77 degrees in Detroit on Monday. That breaks the old record of 75 set 21 years ago. Ann Arbor and Willow Run Airport reported a temperature of 81 degrees.
AccuWeather Meteorologist Dean DeVore says get outside and enjoy it while it lasts -- because it won't be long.
"It's gonna last a couple of more days," DeVore said, speaking live on WWJ Newsradio 950's on Monday.
"What's been going on: A really huge ridge of high pressure that is more like a summerlike patter has just built in the eastern third of the United States. It's living on borrowed time though, I've gotta say that."
This comes after a record-breaking weather weekend across Michigan, with at least ten records for high temperatures were set, nine of those were on Sunday.
The thermometer hit 76 degrees in Traverse City, breaking a record of 69 degrees set in 1931. A record high of 75 was reported in Lansing and Kalamazoo Sunday. That broke previous records set in 1915 and 1931. A high of 74 degrees broke records set in 2009 in Grand Rapids and Muskegon. A new record high of 73 was reported in Pellston, while 71 was good enough for a new record high in Gaylord.
Records were also set Sunday in Alpena and Sault Ste Marie.
In metro Detroit, DeVore said it would get up into in the mid-70s on Monday and it could reach the upper 70s on Tuesday.
Wednesday through Friday will stay sunny, but will it'll be seasonably cooler, as temperatures drop into the 50s -- ending the heatwave.
