Summary

Temperatures are going to be climbing across Minnesota through the weekend -- as another heat wave takes aim at the region. The Superior National Forest has closed access to a large section of the Boundary Waters because of several active wildfires and dangerously hot and dry conditions. The Department of Employment and Economic Development awarded 11 programs across the state grants to make child care more affordable. Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
