Will Genesee County Hit Record High Temps This Weekend?

It’s not every October weekend in Michigan that you can ditch the hoodie for t-shirts and shorts, but that’s exactly what’s happening this time around in Genesee County.

We’re looking at unseasonably warm temps today that will stick around straight through Monday. In fact, we could be flirting with record highs before it’s all said and done.

The average high in October sits in the mid-60s. While we’ll get back to those more “normal” fall temps next weekend, this weekend is going to be way off the charts.

Simply put, there’s a pretty good chance we’re breaking records this weekend. The bad news? That warm spell won’t last long, with reality setting back in next week.

After our possible record-setting weekend, we’ll slide right back into more typical fall weather. Highs drop into the 60s by midweek, which means those of you wanting hoodie weather will get it.
