WSYMAbove Average Temperatures have been a highlight in the forecast throughout the first third of February. This trend looks to come to a head for Mid-Michigan later this week as temperatures are expected to reach into the upper 50’s on Friday afternoon.
For the month of February, south central lower Michigan see’s an average high temperature ranging from 29 F to 32 F where winter precipitation tends to be favored over rainfall.
