Excessive heat grips southern Minnesota Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the 90s and heat index values in the 100s. The heat will persist into Thursday.
100+ heat index Tuesday and Wednesday
While most will see actual air temperatures just under 100 degrees, the heat index will be in the triple digits as dew points in the 70s create dangerously hot conditions.
Highs will be well into the 90s across southern Minnesota to potentially even 100 degrees in some far southern Minnesota locations.
Wednesday will be hot again with highs well into the 90s along with high dew points and heat index values in the 100s.
Cooler air arrives Friday into the weekend when highs will be more seasonable in the 70s and 80s.
