"Minnesota Braces for Intense Early September Heat Wave"
Another intense heat wave is expected to hit Minnesota and the Midwest over the Labor Day weekend, with temperatures potentially reaching record levels in the upper 90s to 100 degrees. The central U.S. has already experienced a summer of scorching temperatures due to a heat dome, and this ridge of high pressure is set to amplify and bring back the heat. While some cooler temperatures are expected earlier in the week, the peak of the heat wave is likely to occur during the holiday weekend. Forecast models suggest that the Twin Cities and much of Minnesota may approach or even break record highs.
