The heatwave, which started last Saturday when we first hit 90 degrees, will continue today and this weekend. Today will be the last day with high humidity and those heat index readings up near 100 degrees. We may see a fast moving shower or thunderstorm late tonight, but they should move away by sunrise on Saturday.

We are now also dealing with smoke from the wildfires in Northern MN and Canada. The air quality across most of the state is poor today, so if the heat doesn’t limit your time outside today, the smoky air will.
