Expect a Hot, Humid, Breezy Tuesday

An excessive heat warning remains in effect for Edina as well as much of Hennepin County until 7 a.m. Wednesday.

The National Weather Service's Chanhassen office said the hot, humid conditions we've seen the past few days will prevail over the area today through this evening. Temperatures are expected to climb well into the 90s, potentially hitting 100 degrees for a few hours in some locations.

As a result, the National Weather Service suggests people to try to stay inside and use air conditioning, as the risk of heat-related stress and illness is greatly heightened at this time. People that do have to go outside for extended periods are advised to drink plenty of fluids.

Lows tonight will drop into the upper 60s and lower 70s by daybreak Wednesday morning. A heat advisory remains in effect for much of south central Minnesota and west central Wisconsin from noon until 8 p.m. Tuesday.

As if that wasn't enough, a wind advisory has also been posted for parts of west central and south central Minnesota from noon until 7 p.m. Tuesday. South to southwest winds of up to 40 mph will be blowing over much of west central and southern Minnesota this afternoon, but are expected to diminish to under 15 mph this evening.
