Exceptional and historic high temperatures are expected today and tomorrow in the North West of the US - with all-time records likely to go.
After record-breaking heat was felt over the Pacific Northwest and
Northern Great Basin on Saturday, even hotter temperatures are forecast
today and Monday throughout the region. The same intense upper-level ridge
responsible for the ongoing heat wave is expected to inch eastward along
the U.S.-Canada border through Tuesday morning. This will allow for
several more days of dangerous heat across the northwest corner of the
country, as well as parts of western Nevada and California.
High temperatures are forecast to soar 20-30+ degrees above average in
Washington and Oregon, including highly populated areas west of the
Cascade Mountains. Highs well into the triple digits will significantly
increase the threat of heat related illnesses. Record-breaking warm
minimum temperatures are forecast as well, with low temperatures only
falling into the 70s ( normally the high temperature during this time of
year).
Both Seattle, WA and Portland, OR are forecast to break their
current all-time high temperature records on Sunday and Monday. In fact,
the high temperature forecast of 112 degrees for Portland, OR today would
break their previous all-time high temperature record by 4 degrees.www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/hpcdiscussions.php?disc=pmdspd
We are talking shade temperatures of 42° to 44°C forecast for tomorrow in Seattle, for example.
Libby, I hope you are OK and your air con works!
