The heat is on, and we still have a few more days of intense heat to go. The pic below showcases the extremely hot high temperatures cities from around the northwest saw Monday.

The next 7 days

Highlights

1.) Brutal heat continues for a few more days. The yucky smoky/hazy skies will also stick with us for much of the week. Overnight lows tonight and tomorrow night will struggle to even reach 70°.

2.) The heat lets up a little bit on Thursday with highs in the mid 90s – which is still extremely hot. Friday will be a bit closer to normal summertime weather with highs in the upper 80s.

3.) Saturday should be quite a bit cooler with partly cloudy skies.

4.) Sun & Mon: We might have a shot at some actual rain! Yes, showers are possible for Sunday and Monday. I still have those days highlighted yellow due to a higher level of uncertainty, but as of right now, I’m forecasting at least the chance for showers those two days.

There you have it. Do the best you can to stay cool and safe!
