However, dewpoints approaching 80 degrees for much of the afternoon pushed the peak heat index to 116 — about 10 degrees hotter than heat index forecasts as late as Saturday morning, thanks to a combination of high dewpoints, lack of wind to bring drier air down to the surface and corn sweat.

Air temperatures will approach 100 degrees Sunday and may get as high as 102 Monday. Dewpoints will be lower both days, but dewpoints in the low 70s will still lead to heat index readings as high as 110 Sunday. Dewpoints in the mid- and upper 60s Monday will still push heat index readings to between 104-107.Emporia Fire had one heat-related medical call Saturday.
