Amazing, so I guess 110 for Monday is a definite possibility?  Whats causing them to be so hot?  Is the air coming directly from the SW and getting compressed by coming down the mountains and the extreme drought is making it even worse?

 

Yes, it’s possible. This is an unprecedented heat event.

it went over 100 three years in a row starting in 2010 with a vegetated Central Park...I don't mean the people...100 is possible any year...especially this year...

Forecast for Monday that I saw was 112 in Seattle!  That would mean Portland could hit 120?

 

Not necessarily. The ridge will be drifting north and east, so its influence over Portland will be a little less impactful. 

Statistically, Seattle’s 102 high yesterday would be the equivalent of a 107 high in Central Park.

Yes I shudder to think what a 112 in Seattle would be like.....117 in NYC?

This morning, Portland recorded a low temperature of 73°. That broke the existing daily record high minimum temperature of 71°, which was set in 2015. It was also Portland's record-tying second consecutive 70° minimum temperature. That record was set during July 16-17, 1941 and tied on July 27-28, 1998 and July 28-29, 2009. This is the only occurrence of such a streak in June.

Portland is 7 degrees warmer than they were yesterday at this hour.   98/67 currently.

My parents have friends who live near Portland; they headed out to their cabin by the coast in the SW part of the state, it's in the mid-60s there right now. B)

Meanwhile it's 98 degrees in Astoria right now, which is absolutely incredible to anyone who's familiar with that area.

Edit: And this might be the most insane reading so far:

At 2 pm, PDT, Portland had a temperature of 109°. That destroys the daily record of 98°, set in 2000. It also surpasses the all-time record high of 108° that was set just yesterday. The difference over yesterday at this time has increased to 13°.

Is that heat headed towards us anytime soon? I certainly hope not!

They also flipped to an east wind and the dew point dropped 10 degrees.  They're likely headed towards 115+.

Public Information Statement 21-41
National Weather Service Headquarters Silver Spring MD
100 PM EDT Thu Jun 17 2021
To: Subscribers:
 -NOAA Weather Wire Service
 -Emergency Managers Weather Information Network
 -NOAAPORT
 -Other NWS Partners, Users and Employees

From: Eli Jacks, Chief
 NWS Forecast Services Division
Subject: Soliciting Comments through July 31, 2021 on Proposed New 
Headline Language to Replace Current "Advisories" and "Special Weather 
Statements"

As fully detailed in Public Information Statement 21-12 dated March 4, 
2021, the National Weather Service (NWS) will be implementing changes to 
its hazard messaging headlines no earlier than calendar year 2024.

This change will result in the discontinuation of all "Advisory" headlines 
within what is currently the NWS Watch, Warning and Advisory system. Most 
of the current Advisory headlines will be replaced with plain language 
headlines that clearly articulate the nature of the hazard. Current 
"Special Weather Statements" (SPS’) will also be discontinued in favor of 
plain language headlines.
NWS is now collecting public comment on options for the plain language 
that will replace the Advisory and SPS headlines.

The survey is available 
at the following link and will remain open through July 31, 2021:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HazSimp21

A slide set highlighting public and partner feedback supporting this 
decision and providing case examples demonstrating how the messages will 
change is at this link:
https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/haz_simp_slides.pdf


A set of frequently asked questions with responses as it relates to the 
planned changes is provided here:
https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/haz_simp_faq_sheet.pdf


Additional details on the change may be found on the "Revamp Progress" tab 
of the project website. Detailed reports on the numerous social science-
based engagements may be found in the "Reference Materials" tab: https://www.weather.gov/hazardsimplification/

Questions and comments can be directed to the NWS Hazard Simplification
