Regional Weather View.

What seems to be never ending heat and humidity continue to be the main story across parts of the Upper Midwest, especially Iowa which will again have a heat wave for the weekend into next week. Mid 90 degree highs will be possible there most days. Further north will not be much cooler or less humid, upper 80s to 90s are possible even in Southern Minnesota and most of Wisconsin. A cold front providing relief from the warm humid conditions could spark strong to severe storms across Central Minnesota into Western Wisconsin.
