Temperatures will climb well into the 90s F with high humidity across North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky on multiple days.

Highs of 100 or higher are in store from Texas and Louisiana to South Dakota and Iowa during one or more days from next Wednesday to next Sunday.

The highest temperatures of the summer yet and the first 100-degree readings are in store for locations such as Des Moines, Iowa; Omaha, Nebraska, Huron, South Dakota; Little Rock, Arkansas; Shreveport, Louisiana; Nashville; Oklahoma City; St. Louis; and Dallas.

This means that how warm it really feels outside could range between 115 and 120 in some locations for a time.
