Heat Wave Developing by Midweek
A heat wave will spread into Minnesota and Wisconsin on Wednesday and last through Friday. Highs will be in the 90s during this period. Thursday should be the warmest of the three days with highs between 95 and 100 degrees. As a result, an Excessive Heat Watch has been issued for Thursday for Hennepin and Ramsey counties due to the excessive heat expected. This includes Minneapolis and St.Paul. For details on the Excessive Heat Watch, click here.
Those working or spending time outdoors will need to keep themselves hydrated during the heat wave. Please remember to NEVER leave a person or pet in an enclosed vehicle in these conditions.
Did you know that heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States? In fact, on average, excessive heat claims more lives each year than floods, lightning, tornadoes and hurricanes combined. For more information on heat safety, click here.
