The NWS advises drinking plenty of fluids, wearing lightweight clothing, staying in air-conditioned rooms, and staying out of the sun as much as possible.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency issued an air quality alert for east-central and southeast Minnesota, from noon until 8 p.m. Friday. The alert, due to ozone, affects the metro as well as St. Cloud, Rochester, Winona and the tribal nation of Prairie Island.
