Dangerously high heat and humidity is settling into Minnesota.
Dew point temperatures in the 70s are expected this afternoon through Friday, which will generate heat index values of 100 to 116 degrees.
In light of this week’s National Weather Service excessive heat watch and increasing temperatures in most of the state, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) encourages people to take steps to stay safe by staying cool.
Temperatures may reach up 100 and 110 in the valleys and lower mountains during the day with “only modest relief at night”, according to the agency.
The NWS has issued a heat advisory as “daytime temperatures around 10 degrees above what is normally the hottest time of the year” can become a health hazard. A separate heat alert is in effect today and Friday for the Antelope Valley, and for Friday in the Los Angeles Basin.
Forecasters warned that triple-digit heat could present a danger to some residents, and demand for electricity could be high, creating the possibility of outages.
