How to beat the heat this week
Minnesota is swapping comfortable summer weather for several days of dangerous heat and humidity. Even after the sun goes down, temperatures will remain unusually warm overnight, offering little relief and allowing heat stress to build from one day to the next.

A stormy start to Sunday with thunderstorms before an extended stretch of dangerous heat and humidity settles in for much of the week.
