Weekend Warm Up! Forecast Calls For Gorgeous Spring Weather Into Next Week

DETROIT (WWJ) - It's finally some weather we can all agree is fantastic.

Forecasters are calling for quite a bit of warmth and sunshine over the weekend and into next week, with that mythical 80-degree mark on the horizon.

WWJ AccuWeather Meteorologist Dean Devore says we could see a couple of showers in some areas of metro Detroit overnight Friday, especially south of the city. A drop or two could continue into the morning, with some clouds sticking around on Saturday — but that's where the bad news ends.

"We're looking at a beautiful day on Sunday with temperatures mid-70s and then warming up close to 80 for Monday and Tuesday next week," Devore said. "We should be mostly in the good stuff now through the next five days."
