Unseasonably warn weather predicted for today here in S.E. Michigan with temps as high as 78 degrees and a slight chance of rain this afternoon............

Temp never got above 68 and it drizzled rain for most of the late morning and into the afternoon...........

TV weathermen are such a joke............
