Its about to get real hot. I'm mean triple digit hot. Here is the Excessive Heat Watch from Portland NWS !
...EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING... THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PORTLAND HAS ISSUED AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IN COMBINATION WITH OFFSHORE EAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR SO FAR ACROSS NEARLY ALL OF SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON. TEMPERATURES INLAND COULD BE CLOSE TO 100 DEGREES ON TUESDAY... WHILE TEMPERATURES AT THE COAST ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE 80S TO NEAR 90 DEGREES. AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH MEANS THAT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF HOT TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS...STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM...STAY OUT OF THE SUN...AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES...NEIGHBORS...THE ELDERLY AND THE INFIRM. AVOID STRENUOUS EXERCISE DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY.
Head to the beach or a river or a lake. Stay cool and please keep an eye on your neighbors !
