Heat Wave Coming to the Twin Cities

Get ready to crank up the AC and load up on bottled water.

The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning for the Twin Cities from Sunday through Wednesday. However, Saturday is expected to be hot, too, with a high near 92 and heat index values as high as 105.

The end of the heat warning isn't expected to bring much relief, either. Thursday and Friday temperatures are expected to be hovering around 90.

If you have to be outside for long periods of time this weekend, the NWS recommends you drink plenty of fluids and take rest breaks whenever possible. Particularly strenuous outdoor activity should be rescheduled for the early morning or evening as well.
