"Southern Minnesota Braces for Extended Heatwave Warning"

An excessive heat warning is in effect for the southern half of Minnesota, including the Twin Cities, until 10 p.m. Wednesday, with temperatures potentially reaching record-breaking highs. The heat index could make it feel as hot as 105 degrees, making it the hottest days since 2012. Meanwhile, the northern part of the state will experience cooler temperatures due to lake influence. A pop-up storm is possible on Friday, but the weekend is expected to be beautiful with highs in the 80s and plenty of sunshine.
