Heat continues this week

The huge high pressure ridge which is pumping hot air into Minnesota will stay locked in place this week.

The dew point Sunday reached an Amazon Jungle level 81 degrees at 9pm CDT. Official confirmation will have to wait for MN State Climate staff to return to work, but I believe this ties the all time highest dew point record for the Twin Cities!

Expect more highs in the 90s, and with tropically oppressive dew points in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees heat index values will again soar into the 110 to 115 degree range.

Where is all this moisture in the air coming from? Did it come up from the Gulf of Mexico?
