Excessive heat warning from Weather Underground:
Statement as of 3:13 AM PDT on July 29, 2009
An excessive heat warning remains in effect until 10 PM PDT
Thursday.
High temperatures Tuesday afternoon were around 105 degrees for interior locations. Today is expected to be another hot day with temperatures in the 105 to 110 degree range for the lowland. The Coast Range and Cascades will also be hot... with temperatures reaching 95 to 105 degrees today. The weather will be less hot on Thursday... however maximum temperatures will still be near 100 degrees.
In addition to the hot afternoons... little relief from the heat is expected overnight. With little to no cooling influence from the ocean... and a somewhat humid air mass in place... nights will remain quite uncomfortable away from the coast. This will especially be the case in urban areas such as Portland and Vancouver. Portland tied the all-time record high minimum temperature of 74 degrees for Tuesday. Overnight low temperatures tonight will be similarly warm. This lack of overnight relief may make this heatwave particularly dangerous in the cities... especially for those without access to air conditioning.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
An excessive heat warning means that a prolonged period of dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a dangerous situation in which heat illnesses are likely. Drink plenty of fluids... stay in an air conditioned room... stay out of the sun... and check up on relatives and neighbors.
