113 degrees forecast in Portland as ‘life-threatening’ heat looms<\/h1>\n

By Jessica Storm, AccuWeather Meteorologist<\/p>\n

A heat wave of unprecedented magnitude and duration is forecast to grip the Pacific Northwest this weekend and bring dangerously high temperatures that could make life miserable into next week for a region where air conditioning is not a fixture in most households.<\/p>\n

Triple-digit temperatures are forecast throughout parts of Oregon and Washington, which includes the Interstate 5 corridor. Both\u00a0Portland, Oregon<\/a>, which could see the mercury crack the 110-degree mark, and\u00a0Seattle<\/a>, which is expected to top 100, could experience temperatures around 30 to 40 degrees above normal and challenge daily record highs.<\/p>\n

Following a cooler stretch of weather, the dangerous heat is forecast to peak from Saturday through Monday as\u00a0high pressure<\/a>\u00a0settles in and enables temperatures to climb to new heights.<\/p>\n

“There are typically a few rounds of heat in the Pacific Northwest each summer, but this particular heat wave looks quite extreme,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Brian Thompson,\u00a0who regularly analyzes weather patterns in the West<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Excessive heat watches and warnings<\/a>, as well as red flag warnings for high fire risk, were plastered across the Northwest and across the border, issued by both the United States\u00a0National Weather Service<\/a>\u00a0(NWS) offices\u00a0Environment Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“On Friday, highs will be in the 90s across most of the Pacific Northwest,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Tyler Roys. Many locations will then top the 100-degree mark this weekend, breaking daily and monthly record highs and even challenging all-time records at various locations.<\/p>\n

Average highs in June can be anywhere from the 70s in eastern Washington and Oregon to the 80s in western areas into Idaho.<\/p>\n
