As predicted and expected a number of weather records were set Friday and a heat wave is moving through the region, putting most of the region under a heat warning from Environment Canada.
Meteorologist Mark Schuster explains many areas saw record-breaking highs Friday, and forecasts highs in the 30s for “basically anywhere from about Kenora all the way towards Thunder Bay and up towards Red Lake and Sioux Lookout.”
“It looks like these hot temperatures are going to persist into tomorrow,” he notes.
The Red Lake and Ear Falls areas are under a special weather statement but have temperatures similar to those under the heat warning.
