Metro Detroit to warm up briefly before cooler temperatures, rain return

Metro Detroit is back to average. At least in terms of weather, and at least for now. After a weekend that saw temperatures dancing around the low 70s and strong gusts of wind, the region was much cooler Monday but expected to briefly warm up again, according to the National Weather Service. The temperatures toward the end of last week and into the weekend were outside of the average for this time of year, said Mike Richter, a National Weather Service meteorologist in White Lake. The normal temperature is about 46 degrees Fahrenheit, he said. Monday was expected to be in the mid-40s, with temperatures expected to slowly rise and hit the mid-60s by Wednesday before falling back down again. 'So, another little, nice, little warm stretch here,' Richter said. It's about 20 degrees above average and a flip from the colder-than-average winter residents have seen, he said. As for the gusts of winds that knocked out power for some in Michigan during the weekend, Richter confirmed those were tied to the storms that killed at least 40 people across seven other states. Some gusts Saturday reached the mid-50 miles per hour. 'We're in the wake of that system,' Richter said. Another system is on its way, of course, though it probably won't involve as strong of wind gusts. Some rain and gusty winds are expected Wednesday into Thursday, and this coming weekend temperatures are so far expected in the 40s with a chance of rain possible, Richter said. 'Typical March ‒ late March – weather,' he said of the expected weekend weather.
