Here’s your Monday evening forecast from Meteorologist Wren Clair:

An Excessive Heat Warning is in place Tuesday late morning through Wednesday night for central and southern Minnesota, as well as most of western Wisconsin. Humidity levels rise overnight tonight into your Tuesday forecast, with tropical-like humidity. Highs reach into the upper-90s across the metro, and with dew points in the mid-70s, it’ll feel like 103° to 108° during peak heating hours. Take breaks from this heat, for you and your pets. It’s not a bad idea to check on the elderly as well.

Tuesday’s record high is 97° set in 1971, and Wednesday’s record high is 97° set in 1948). Both Tuesday and Wednesday, temperatures look to reach about 98° for the Twin Cities.

The start of the state fair is hot and humid, but not as hot and humid as your Tuesday and Wednesday forecast. Temperatures continue to cool off Friday into the weekend. This is a very dry 7-day forecast, but some scattered showers and storms are possible Friday.
