FORECAST FIRST ALERT:

Saturday and Sunday remain Forecast First Alert days. Excessive Heat Warnings are in effect until 9 p.m. Sunday, when heat index values could continue to soar to 105 to 110 degrees. A record high of 96° was set in the Twin Cities on Saturday, beating the old record of 95° set back in 1910.

Highs in the Twin Cities will push the upper 90s again Sunday, with records in jeopardy. This has been the most dangerous heat of the season so far.

Heat remains the number one cause of weather-related deaths, especially when it catches people off guard. Make sure you’re hydrating, limiting time outside, and checking on loved ones—especially the elderly, children, and pets.
