Shade Hunters

Shade what?  Read on.

H O T pattern setting up around the PNW, with temps likely to exceed 100 degrees in many west side locations later this week.  Everyone will be hunting for SHADE to provide relief.  Forecasters are speaking out about the heat to protect lives - - this level of heat can kill - - so don’t ignore the warnings & methods to protect yourself and neighbors that may not have air conditioning.  Enough parenting.  Here’s the scoop:

  • This weekend temps will reach upper 80s to lower 90s, possibly 95; a few degrees cooler around the Puget Sound, but still hot.  Sunday likely the hottest. WINDY afternoons.
  • Next week: Mon could be a few degrees cooler than Sunday, but that will just be a short heat break.  As the week progresses, triple-digits likely Wed & Thu - quite possibly could reach 103-105 in western OR.  Offshore air flow.  Warm nights, too.  Mid-level moisture may work north along the Cascades Thu evening - thunderstorms?  FIRE issues will be elevated, for sure.  Turning a bit cooler on Friday the 18th.
  • July 19,20 weekend: not quite so hot, but still temps should climb into the upper 80s in many locations with a bit of onshore flow. 
  • Week of July 21-25: trending broadly in the mid-80s with Wed likely the hottest day of the week.  Cooling late week with a push on onshore flow and much cooler air.
  • Weekend of July 26,27: turning warmer, with chance for 90+ temps setting up for the following week.  Too early to peg.
California temps will also be HOT, with Big Valley reaching 105-110 at times.  Shade Hunters.
