Extreme Heat Warning issued July 12 at 9:01PM CDT until July 14 at 9:00PM CDT by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN

Effective: Sun July 12, 2026, 9:01 PM
Expires: Mon July 13, 2026, 9:15 AM

* WHAT...Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values up to 100. Overnight temperatures remaining very warm in the mid 70s. * WHERE...Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington Counties. * WHEN...Until 9 PM CDT Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Heat-related illnesses increase significantly during extreme heat and high humidity events. Prolonged heat waves lead to cumulative heat stress for those who cannot adequately cool down and recover each night. Cumulative heat stress significantly increases the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke as time goes on.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
