February Heat Wave: Temps To Top 60 In Metro Detroit

DETROIT (WWJ) - Metro Detroit is falling into a mid-winter heat wave.

Forecasters say temperatures could reach the mid 60s on Tuesday. If that happens, it could break the record high temp of 63 degrees set back in 2016.

The temperature might be warmer but it's going to be wet and gloomy. A Flood Watch remains in effect until Wednesday afternoon, with an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain expected.

The unseasonably warm weather won't be sticking around, either. Temps will drop down to the 40s Wednesday and might even dip back into the 30s on Thursday.
