St. Paul, MN – A blast of late-summer heat is expected across Minnesota today, with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s and low 90s and humidity pushing the heat index even higher.
According to the National Weather Service Twin Cities, residents can expect warm and muggy conditions through the weekend, with “feels-like” temperatures nearing the mid-90s in some locations. The agency noted that the sudden warm-up will make it feel more like mid-July than mid-September.
On Saturday, heat index values were projected to peak in the afternoon hours, with Twin Cities residents seeing maximum readings around 95 degrees. Communities such as Red Wing, Redwood Falls, and Albert Lea could also experience heat indexes near or above 95.
The warm stretch is expected to continue into early next week. Sunday’s high is forecast near 89 degrees, followed by mid-80s on Monday and Tuesday. By Thursday, cooler air is likely to return, with highs in the low 70s.
Storm chances increase late Sunday and may continue into much of next week. The National Weather Service advises residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, and monitor updated forecasts for potential storm developments.
