Columbia heats up for final days of Boone County Fair
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Temperatures are climbing and combined with humidity they'll push the heat index over 100 degrees for the final days of the Boone County Fair.
The fair draws crowds outside for hours of carnival rides, food, family-friendly shows and Saturday's Ham Breakfast. But with extreme heat moving in, first responders and health experts warn fairgoers about heat exhaustion.
The Stormtrack weather team has issued a Weather Alert Day because of the heat, with heat indexes around the area expected to reach 100 to 105 degrees Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures and humidity are likely to ease Monday with a front coming in that could bring rain but temperatures could soar into the mid-90s again in the middle of the week.
