The heat advisory continues through today into Sunday over central and northeastern SD and west central MN. Highs will be in the upper 90s to 105 degrees with heat index values between 100 to 110 Sunday, with the warmest temperatures over central SD. Make sure to take precautions against the heat and keep an eye out for symptoms of heat illnesses.
This heat will affect anyone without adequate cooling, hydration (water), and those sensitive to heat. Everyone is at risk from the dangers of extreme heat, but some groups are more vulnerable than others (pregnant women, newborns/children, the elderly, and those with chronic illness). Age and certain conditions make the body less able to regulate temperature.
