During this heat wave, if you plan on being outdoors for any extended period of time take those heat safety precautions. Check on those more sensitive to the heat or those without access to A/C.
There won't be much opportunity to cool down at night, or many of the nights ahead. We drop into the mid to upper 70s for early Tuesday and a steam-like fog may set in over Iowa Tuesday morning.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday make a run for 100 degrees, with lots of sun and stickiness outside. This will be very close to at least tying record highs temperatures set back in 1975 and 1936. Heat indices will range from 110-115 in the afternoons.
Thankfully, a cold front moves through on either Thursday night or midday Friday and this looks to bring us relief from the dangerous heat. Afternoon highs will be closer to 90 degrees Friday with a chance for rain, depending on cold front timing.
The weekend looks much cooler. Mid to low 80s on Saturday and Sunday. Both days bring a mix of clouds and sun, and an occasional chance for rain. There will be dry time.
