(WWJ) Fans of warmer weather, rejoice!
It's really going to feel like spring this weekend in Metro Detroit, as AccuWeather is calling for temperatures 15 to 25 degrees above average.
AccuWeather says, in fact, people who enjoy going without a jacket will be in for a treat throughout the Midwest and Northeast, as temps are expected to spike well over historical averages, climbing to their highest levels in some areas since October.
"The pattern from late this week into the weekend will give tens of millions of people in parts of the Midwest and Northeast a serious case of spring fever," said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Matt Benz.
In the Detroit area, AccuWeather said starts to sneak in on Friday (3/6), with a forecasts high of 51 degrees, with some rain Friday night.
On, Saturday Metro Detroit is on for a balmy high of 68 degrees, with some wind in the forecast, rain early in the day, and maybe a thunderstorm in spots.
Sunday is looking like the best day to spend some time outside: Mostly clear and sunny, with a breeze and high of around 62.
Monday may be even warmer, with forecasted highs in Metro Detroit reaching up to around 70 degrees. The record high for this date in Detroit is 71, set ten years ago.
We could see some more of the 60s on Tuesday, before things cool back down closer to normal midweek.
