The “feels like” temperature on Saturday is expected to hit 107 degrees. It could 105 degrees on Sunday.
To illustrate just how brutal the heat is, the National Weather Service attempted to bake biscuits using only the sun and a car in the parking lot of their Omaha, Nebraska, headquarters.
After 45 minutes, the biscuits started to rise, according to a tweet by NWS Omaha.
