Cool Down at Massive Water Fight This Saturday in Minnesota!

Get Ready to Sweat, Minnesota! The Summer Heat is On The Way

We are going to be feeling the heat the next few days! Summer is HERE!!! I just glanced at weather.com and looks like the high for Saturday will be 88 degrees for most of Southeast Minnesota. Minneapolis is supposed to be one of the hottest areas hitting at 91 degrees. Sunday, the temps look to be a bit higher than that though according to the National Weather Service. And if you know anyone in Iowa, pray that they've got air-conditioning because parts of the state are going to experience a heat index of 106 degrees!
