Are You Sure It's Spring? Record Low Temperature Set in Metro Detroit

DETROIT (WWJ) - It's been feeling more like winter than spring in metro Detroit lately and now, we have a record to prove it.

The National Weather Service said an all-time record low temperature of 24 degrees was set in Flint on Friday. That breaks the old record of 25 degrees set in 1996.

But we're not out of the woods just yet. CBS 62 Chief Meteorologist Jim Madaus said it will feel chilly on Saturday, and there's a slight chance of rain.

"We've got mostly cloudy skies in our forecast and temperatures climbing only into the low 50s today -- that's at least 10 degrees lower than normal for this time of year," said Madaus.

It might take a few more days but by mid-week, the weather should warm up and feel more like normal for this time of year, with highs in the mid-60s.

Here's the local forecast from the CBS Detroit weather team:

Saturday: Partly cloudy. High 52F. Low 34F.

Sunday: Sunny, along with a few afternoon clouds. High 56F. Low 39F.

Monday: Overcast. High near 55F. Low near 40F.

Tuesday: Sunshine and some clouds. High 63F. Low 44F.

Wednesday: Partly to mostly cloudy. High near 65F. Low 46F.
