NWS ST. LOUIS PHOTO The National Weather Service has an extreme heat watch activated for the immediate Heartland Newsfeed coverage area beginning Sunday. A dangerous heat wave will take hold over the region by the end of this weekend, with 105° heat indices likely Sunday through next week.

South-southwest winds are expected to be around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 15 mph.

“Extreme temperatures and humidity will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities,” the Weather Service stated. “Be prepared to drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned building, limit time outdoors, and check up on relatives and neighbors.”
