FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Surging heat and humidity Sunday and Monday
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - We may be in the later stages of the summer season, with meteorological fall just over a week away, but a round of high heat and humidity looks to bring dangerous heat indexes to Western Wisconsin by Monday. Temperatures will continue to rise, reaching around 90° on Sunday with readings in the low to mid-90s on Monday. Dew points will also be on the rise, climbing steadily through the 60s and into the 70s on Sunday. This will make for a tropical feel as heat indexes climb well into the 90s to finish out the weekend. These stifling conditions are expected to push heat index values above 100° by Monday, when a First Alert weather day has been declared. This may end up being the hottest feeling day of the summer so far. Heat related illness will be a concern, so it will be a day to limit your time outdoors and staying hydrated.
