Temps Reach Record Lows For Weekend
DETROIT (WWJ) - Spring is here, but don't pack away your winter coats just yet. Michigan is facing record-low temperatures for this time of year.
The current record for low temperature is 11 degrees, set back in 2001. The low for Friday night could break that record, and the highs for the weekend won't go any further than the 30s. The seasonal high for this time of year is right around 50 degrees.
AccuWeather Meteorologist Dean DeVore said even though Metro Detroit is in store for a cold weekend, it's actually beneficial. The unseasonably cold weather will suppress a storm that is progressing to the south of Michigan. The storm may affect Ohio and Pennsylvania with severe weather, snow and freezing rain.
A little relief will come early the next week when the sun shines on Monday and Tuesday with highs of 39 degrees.
