Tracking extreme heat through Monday
The National Weather Service has extended the heat advisory through Monday for nearly all of Missouri and northeastern Kansas. Heat indices are expected to surpass the 100s on Sunday and Monday.
With the heat advisory continuing through Saturday evening, a break in the heat is not expected until midweek. Overnight temperatures will dip only into the upper 70s and low 80s, making for a very warm evening. Over the past few hours, we have experienced very gusty conditions, with winds reaching up to 25-30 mph. These strong southerly winds will continue overnight, and gusts could climb into the 30s. These winds will help keep temperatures warm into Sunday morning.
Sunday will be similar to today, with temperatures and heat indices climbing quickly. Highs are expected to reach the upper 90s, with the heat index nearing 105. Winds will remain gusty, with gusts near 30-35 mph. We will continue to remain dry on Sunday, with plenty of sunshine to help warm temperatures.
Monday will mark the start of a more active weather pattern. A marginal risk (level 1 of 5). A low-pressure system in Kansas is expected to bring rain and thunderstorms along a frontal boundary late Monday night into Tuesday morning. Behind the Tuesday system, rain and storm chances will likely linger throughout most of the week, with temperatures remaining in the 90s.

Wisconsin heat warning, advisory through Monday; what to expect
MILWAUKEE - The National Weather Service issued an extreme heat warning that covers Milwaukee, Kenosha and Racine counties as well as a heat advisory until Monday evening, June 23. Local perspective FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android The warning and advisory are expected to expire at 7 p.m. on Monday. Big picture view Wisconsin is not the only area dealing with dangerous heat; about 30 states are experiencing heat advisories, watches and warnings for triple-digit heat indices. Heat indices on Saturday reached as high as 109°. Daily temperatures will be in the mid-90s with high heat index values in the low 100s through early next week before slightly cooler air returns on Tuesday. High dew points may linger through Monday, then begin to drop back to 60s Tuesday and the rest of the week. Why you should care When your body becomes hot, it tries to cool itself off by sweating and evaporating the sweat into the air. However, the high amount of moisture that will be in the air will prevent the sweat from being able to evaporate off of your skin. This can cause the body to overheat and cause heat-related illnesses. It is important to listen to your body during this time. Take breaks from being out in the heat, drink water, get into the shade or an air-conditioned building if possible. Milwaukee could even tie or break record high temperatures and warm low temperatures in the coming days.

Upcoming weather has Massachusetts under an Extreme Heat Warning
Due to the upcoming heat wave Massachusetts is set to experience, the state has been issued an 'Extreme Heat Warning.' The National Weather Service says that it's slated to go into effect for eastern, northeastern, southeastern, and western Massachusetts starting on Sunday at 11 AM until Tuesday at 8 PM. Our weather team expects temperatures to go up into the high 90s, with Tuesday potentially being a record-breaking day in terms of heat. Tuesday is the day to watch. Temperatures are slated to reach 100 degrees, and the heat index may climb, making it feel like 110! Our meteorologists say, 'Records are likely to fall across the region, and outdoor activity should be limited to the early morning or evening hours.' 'With this heat emergency coming as we kick off the summer season, we ask our community members to please take care and prepare accordingly for the extreme heat,' said Mayor Michelle Wu. 'City staff are working to ensure that all residents can have a safe and enjoyable summer. Be sure to stay hydrated, take breaks from working outside, and regularly check in on neighbors, friends, and family.' Mayor Wu and city staff members have also issued the following safety tips to ensure you beat the heat: Children and pets should never be left alone in vehicles, even for short periods of time. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids regardless of activity level. Avoid alcoholic beverages and liquids high in sugar or caffeine. Keep cool with frequent cool showers, shade, and air conditioning or fans. More tips for cooling down at home can be found here. If you can't avoid being outside, it's critical to take breaks in the shade, drink water constantly — even if you're not thirsty — and watch for warning signs like dizziness, nausea, or confusion. Know the signs of heat exhaustion. Heavy sweating, cool and clammy skin, dizziness, nausea, and muscle aches could all be signs of heat exhaustion. If symptoms persist, call 9-1-1 immediately. Do not delay care. Heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the U.S. and can exacerbate underlying illnesses. Adults and children should use sunscreen containing an SPF-30 or higher and wear protective, loose-fitting clothing including long sleeve shirts and hats. If you have a child in your home, use child window guards in addition to screens on any open window on the second story or above. Falls are the leading cause of injury for children under the age of six. Secure all window air conditioner units according to the manufacturer's specifications. If you are heading to a beach, lake, or pool to beat the heat, swim where lifeguards are present. Always watch children near the water and make sure they're wearing a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket. Please call or check on neighbors, especially older adults and people with disabilities. Please keep pets indoors, hydrated, and cool as asphalt and ground conditions are significantly hotter and unsafe during heat. Some cities, like Worcester, have announced cooling centers at the following locations: Monday, June 23 Worcester Public Library (Main Branch) – 3 Salem Square | 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Worcester Senior Center – 128 Providence St. | 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 24 Worcester Public Library (Main Branch) – 3 Salem Square | 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Worcester Senior Center – 128 Providence St. | 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Worcester 311 Customer Service Center – 799 Main St. | 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. This is a developing story.
