Heat wave in Upper Midwest imminent
The Upper Midwest is bracing for a significant heat wave as a strong ridge aloft brings above-normal temperatures to the region on Saturday. Cities like Minneapolis are forecast to experience temperatures in the low 90s, a stark contrast to the average highs in the 60s typically seen this time of year. This unseasonable heat poses considerable risks, particularly due to the potential for record highs and warm nights, which can be especially dangerous in Minnesota.
