Officials say those in strenuous outdoor activities must be especially careful the next two days when there’s an excessive heat warning for basically the southern half of Minnesota.  Meteorologist Jake Beitlich with the National Weather Service in Chanhassen says fall sports are starting up for schools and coaches, players and parents should be mindful that heat won’t be potentially dangerous just in the afternoon but mornings are also going to be warm and muggy.  Dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea and weakness are signs of heat exhaustion, which can progress into heat stroke – with confusion and eventually unconsciousness.  Heat-related illness is a medical emergency.
