More sunshine and mild temps!

More sunshine and mild temperatures today with highs in the mid 40s! Could reach near 60 by Friday!

Temperatures will climb higher still on Wednesday with predictions landing Southeast Michigan in the mid-40s by midday.

Metro Detroit can also expect less sun today compared to Tuesday. 

This week's warm spell is part of a stretch of dry conditions that will persist until Friday when showers enter the forecast.

The National Weather Service is expecting above-average conditions to push the region into the 50s with a chance of hitting 60 degrees not out of the question on Friday. If that happens, it would be close to a record for February. 

The possibility of rain begins Thursday evening with the likelihood climbing to about 35% on Friday.

From there, temperatures peel off in a big way over the weekend.
