THERMAL RIDGE STAYS WELL WEST OF CWA OVER THE WEEKEND ACCORDING TO
BOTH NAM AND GFS FORECASTS. PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS THROUGH TODAY

BE THE CASE. THE REAL HOT TEMPERATURES WILL STAY OVER THE DAKOTAS
WHERE 850 MB TEMPERATURES PUSH WELL ABOVE 25C BOTH TODAY AND SUNDAY.
TRAJECTORY FORECASTS ARGUE FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES NOT GETTING MUCH
PAST THE LOWER 90S OVER THE EAST HALF OF OUR CWA. WITH FORECAST HEAT
INDICES STAYING WELL BELOW 100 F WE SHOULD NOT NEED HEADLINES FOR
THE HEAT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
WITH ARRIVAL OF TROUGH AXIS ON MONDAY...CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL
LIKELY INCREASE. WE HAVE MODIFIED POPS AND WEATHER SLIGHTLY...BUT
THE ESSENTIAL PRECIP TIMING IS THE SAME AS WAS INDICATED IN PREVIOUS
FORECASTS.

High temperatures at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport remained at or above 90 degrees for 9 consecutive days between July 9th and 17th. This extended period of hot weather set a record for the 3rd longest streak of at or above 90 degree highs since 1891 in the Twin Cities. On July 12th, a laborer putting up a fence in Arden Hills in Ramsey County suffered severe heatstroke. He collapsed at the work site and was rushed to a local hospital. His body temperature reached 108.8 degrees, but miraculously he survived after receiving intensive medical attention. He awoke from a medically-induced sedation 24 hours after falling ill and made a full recovery.
