It might be warm enough Saturday in Ann Arbor to shed your jacket.

That would tie the record set in Ann Arbor for this date in 1898, according to figures from Dennis Kahlbaum, University of Michigan weather observer.

We’ll make it into the low 40s Sunday, but after that, the Ann Arbor area won’t see temperatures above freezing again for several days, the National Weather Service says.

The colder weather will come with some significant precipitation, and some of it could be in the form of snow.

Rain is expected in the Ann Arbor area Saturday night, when the low will drop to around 35 degrees. The rain continues Sunday morning. After noon, there’s a chance for rain and snow. Forecasters predict a high of 38 degrees.

Sunday night, the low is expected to drop to about 22 degrees. Monday will bring sunshine, but the mercury may not make it to the 30-degree mark. The current forecast calls for a high of 29.

The rest of the week, we can expect nighttime lows around 20 and highs in the upper 20s to low 30s, forecasters say.
