Summary
New Ulm hit a 111-degree heat index Monday as Minnesota sweltered under an extreme heat warning in effect until midnight Tuesday.
Red Wing and Marshall reached 93 degrees, while MSP Airport hit 92, as a heat dome to the southeast trapped hot, humid air over the state.
Northern Minnesota storms triggered tornado warnings Monday afternoon, and more thunderstorms were possible in the Twin Cities Monday night with strong wind and hail.
Tuesday is expected to stay in the low 90s with heat index values near 100, and the hot, unsettled pattern with periodic storm chances is forecast to last much of the week.
