(Natural News) According to the National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center (NWS WPC), a record-breaking and dangerous heatwave is now hammering the west.
The NWS WPC warned that more than 80 locations may “break daily high-temperature records.”
“Historic heat” headed for the Pacific Northwest
The National Weather Service office in Portland reports that an episode of “historic heat” will be felt throughout the Pacific Northwest late in June and early in July. Temperatures may reach 30 degrees or more above average, which can break monthly and all-time records.
By June 28, the temperature could reach 100 F in Seattle and 107 F in Portland, Oregon. Unfortunately, most of the population of these cities lack air conditioning.
Seattle has only reached the century mark twice in over 75 years. If Portland hits 107 F, it’ll match its highest temperature ever recorded.
In Spokane, Washington, the temperature could reach 110 F by June 28, Monday. The Weather Service in the Spokane office warned that citizens should prepare for a “historic and dangerous heatwave,” with the weather reaching triple-digit heat from Saturday to Tuesday.
The Weather Service also issued excessive-heat watches from extreme Northern California through large parts of Oregon and Washington. Heat-related illnesses are likely for most citizens, particularly those without adequate air conditioning.
The heatwave will evolve in the coming weeks
Temperatures were already much warmer by Tuesday from the Columbia Basin of eastern Washington state and extreme northeast Oregon, where the highs climbed into the upper 90s, indicating that the worse is yet to come. By Wednesday and Thursday, most areas will experience similar temperatures before the temperature spikes by Friday, with some sites slated to hit 100 F.
By Saturday, coastal valleys and well inland may experience widespread highs from 100 to 110 F. Temperatures may also reach 110 F in some spots by Sunday, suggesting that the heat can be felt until the middle of next week.
The increase in temperatures can be traced to a sprawling ridge of high pressure called a “heat dome” that “deflects inclement weather to the north, bringing copious sunshine, sinking air and clear skies.”
Weak high pressure is in control across the northwestern Lower 48, but will be replaced by a high-pressure system that will move ashore and into southern British Columbia during the day by Saturday.
