Detroit Area Weekend Weather Forecast: Partly To Mostly Sunny, Rising Temps

METRO DETROIT, MI — When you’re talking about weather, everything is relative. In a “normal” Michigan winter, this weekend’s forecast wouldn’t sound too bad with high temperatures ranging 28 degrees today all the way up to 48 by Sunday.

But this has been anything but a typical winter, right? Walking around in light jackets or shirt sleeves at various points in January and February — that just doesn’t happen, not in the Mitten.

Thus far in 2017, however, anything seems to be possible. So, without further ado, here is your weekend anything-can-happen forecast from the National Weather Service:
