Unsubscribe at any time.Rockies, Northern Plains forecast<\/p>\n Heat alerts<\/p>\n Extreme heat watches and warnings stretch from Nevada to parts of the Dakotas and northern Minnesota. <\/p>\n An extreme heat watch is issued when conditions are favorable for an extreme heat event that could lead to heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke, within the next 24 to 48 hours. Watches are upgraded to warnings when those conditions become more certain. <\/p>\n This is the time to plan to suspend all major outdoor activities if a warning is issued. If you do not have air conditioning, locate the nearest cooling shelter or discuss staying with nearby family or friends who have air conditioning.<\/p>\n How hot will it get?<\/p>\n Highs will soar into the triple digits each day through Monday, perhaps even Tuesday, in parts of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and the Dakotas. A few areas of the northern High Plains could reach or top 110 degrees during this heat wave. <\/p>\n In some of these areas, especially in larger cities, morning lows may not drop below 70 degrees. <\/p>\n At least some modest heat relief may arrive to some of these areas Tuesday through Thursday. <\/p>\n (MORE: <\/strong>5 things to know to stay safe in a heat wave<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n All-time records?<\/p>\n These forecast highs may not just shatter records for a particular day, but they could approach, tie or top the hottest temperatures on record for some locations in the Rockies and Northern Plains. <\/p>\n Salt Lake City could flirt with its all-time record of 107 degrees set on five different days, most recently on July 17 and Sept. 7, 2022. <\/p>\n Billings, Montana, could see its first high in the 110s in 92 years of records dating to 1934. That’s just one of almost two dozen locations in eastern Montana and Wyoming<\/a> that could flirt with their all-time record highs. <\/p>\n (MORE: <\/strong>What’s your state’s all-time heat record?<\/strong><\/a>)<\/p>\n Midwest, East forecast<\/p>\n When will it arrive?<\/p>\n The upper Midwest is the first to see the hotter weather arrive this weekend, especially in Minnesota. <\/p>\n Then the hot, humid air mass will ooze its way through the rest of the Midwest by Monday and reach the East by Tuesday. <\/p>\n How hot will it get?<\/p>\n Many of these areas will see temperatures soar into the 90s by the afternoon. A few areas in the mid-Atlantic and Midwest could approach 100 degrees around the middle of the week. <\/p>\n This could set some daily records Tuesday and Wednesday in parts of the Northeast from New England and upstate New York to the mid-Atlantic states. <\/p>\n Morning lows, especially in larger cities, may languish in the middle or upper 70s, offering little evening or nighttime relief. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/weather.com\/_next\/static\/media\/morning-brief-logo.1vsg6xjfl-m0f.svg\"\/){kind=logo}
