Wish we had something exciting to share about a dramatic change in the forecast. Unfortunately, it’s a lot more of the same. But we can see the end of this pattern.
We’ve been telling you for a week now to expect this, and it’s now here. Yesterday began a stretch of five consecutive days with highs in the 80s…keep in mind that our long-term average high temperature right now is 72 degrees (22 degrees Celsius).
Metro Detroit weather: Record heat possible this weekend; rain chances hang around

Now that highs are in the 80s, the mercury will continue rising into the weekend.
Thursday will beat the May 2 high of 83 degrees for the warmest of the year so far when we reach the mid-80s in the Metro Zone.
Friday’s temperature will inch into the upper 80s, which will be just 4 degrees away from the record of 92 degrees.
High temperatures will stick around that mark through the weekend, so Saturday’s record of 90 degrees and Sunday’s record of 89 degrees are definitely in play.
