With high humidity, it could feel like 105 to 110 degrees in some areas. Northern Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin are under heat advisories, with feels-like temperatures near or above 100 degrees.
The day will stay mostly dry, but late Sunday and overnight, scattered storms are possible, especially in northern Minnesota and western and northern Wisconsin.

Future forecast
What's next:
The forecast for the rest of the week shows continued warm to hot weather, with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s.
There may be a few storms on Thursday, but most days will bring sunshine and warm temperatures both morning and afternoon.
Monday will start humid, but dew points will fall from the 70s in the morning to the lower 60s by late afternoon.
Winds will shift to the northwest behind the cold front, helping to knock out some of the moisture.
