POLL: What Summer-Like Behavior Do You Embrace These Balmy Days?

Sure, you've opened windows and lowered the thermostat this lovely week before spring's official start. But have your flip-flops moved from storage to feet yet? Are shorts still hibernating?

The sunny caress of summer-like temperatures will linger at least a week, forecasts say. Daily highs of 68 to 70 degrees are projected through Monday.

"We could break the consecutive 60-degree days in March record, which was set back in 1945 in Detroit," National Weather Service meteorologists in White Lake say at their website. That 67-year-old record, incidentally, was nine straight days above 60.

Normal peaks for March 11-22 in Detroit are 44 to 48 degrees, the service notes. "The going forecast is calling for readings 15 to 20 degrees above climatological normals," it adds in a Monday posting.
