After breaking some records for warmth Saturday, the Detroit area did the same Sunday when 61 degrees was recorded about 1 p.m. at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.  That tops the record 60 degrees for Dec. 13 that was set in 1881.

The unseasonably warm temperatures partly are due to warm, moist air moving northwest from the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mexico and the warming El Nino weather system.
