Hot conditions will be the rule as we close out August as temperatures are expected to climb into the 90s this week, with a shot of 100 degrees by Thursday. I don’t think we’ll see 100 in the Twin Cities, but high temperatures should be in the 95 to 99 degree range Thursday. Typically, Labor Day is the unofficial end to summer, but it will not feel like fall for at least a week.
The National Weather Service in the Twin Cities has issued an Excessive Heat Warning for Hennepin and Ramsey Counties for Thursday due to the urban heat island effect.
...EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IN EFFECT FOR THE TWIN CITIES THURSDAY...
.AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR HENNEPIN AND RAMSEY COUNTIES FOR THIS THURSDAY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE ARRIVAL OF A WARM FRONT WILL BRING WITH IT SOUTHWEST WINDS AND VERY WARM TEMPERATURES INTO THE TWIN CITIES AREA FOR THURSDAY. RECORD HIGHS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY...WITH ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURES LIKELY APPROACHING OR EVEN EXCEEDING 100 DEGREES DURING THE AFTERNOON. THOSE PLANNING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THURSDAY OR IN STRUCTURES WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING SHOULD PLAN FOR DANGEROUSLY HOT TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
Just when you thought summer was done with, think again. This might be the last taste of hot weather we’ll see all year, but the way this year has been, we might see 90 degrees in November. Crazy.
