My take on that, is eventually we will see a heat wave similar to theirs. It may be a while, but the fact that they will break all time records by that much is insane to even think. I believe they are in a pretty decent drought, which helps fuel the heat, but I'd say we aren't immune to something similar at some point (may be many years). I'd say them shooting to 115 would be like us jumping to 106 or 107. The crazy thing is Portland and the NW may not see anything this extreme for decades and decades again. Just to be clear. I like heat, and do want to see us hit 100 soon, to break the drought there, but spiking that far above 100 would be too extreme.

Also extremely unlikely Portland would stay above 107 for multiple days and yet they could hit 115 for two days

Meh, no, lol.

Fell short of forecasted highs today. Only 84, despite sunshine all day. Doesn't bode well for 90 the next few days, but we'll see.

It would just be a pathetic high if it was only 60 in July. Just a statement, not that deep.

Troughs can wait until the Fall, lol! Give me hot, sunny summer followed by a crisp cool Fall, and a winter that we all want here.

It definitely looks like the weather a week out is really not known. Just the last few weeks when I check the weather app the weather in the extended forecast always seems to change pretty drastically. This weekend for example, last week it looked like today would be rainy and 75-ish. Obviously much different. As long as it isn’t cold and rainy I’ll be happy. It can be 75 and sunny for the holiday.

Pathetic if that would turn out true. If it’s GFS lots of room for improvement. Would hate for the second summer holiday to be shitty like Memorial Day, but I’m sure it will happen.

Today was a perfect summer day. If it could be low 80s, sunny and low dew points everyday from June through August I'd be happy.

Edit, Euro backed off on big heat next week at 12z run. Couple days near 90 then low 80s.

Euro has the heat focused from Monday through Friday, with a 94 on Thursday.

Which is why GFS is a take it with a grain of salt model right now.

Interesting. Hmmm...not sure then. Was there a tornado warning on that storm?

The GFS is funny for Sunday, near 90 here, but the funny part is the 113 in Portland, OR.

Is it possible that it was clearly straight line winds? I'm not really sure if there is a difference between how tornado damage and straight line damage look? Possible they could just tell based on radar that there was no spinning?

We thought that about Monday, lol. It's wait and see.

Tomorrow and Thursday look very nice. Today has been very chilly. Had this been September this would be a great day.

These training storms are absolutely disgusting. Some of my least favorite weather. Just won’t stop raining. This front or whatever just needs to drop down.

I'll take low 60 dew points with those temperatures. It's really not that bad, but as we climb near 70 for the dp, then there are problems.

85-90 is nice, but not the 70 dewpoints. Give me 85-90, even 95 with sub 60 dews, and we're good.

Stay safe and hopefully it doesn't linger too long for your vacation.

Looks like 90 is out of the question now for Monday, but 60s for highs the following days look more possible. Gross.

Looks like an ugly week ahead. Too many rain chances for me, but if it turns out like today (too cloudy, but no rain) that’d be ok.

This could be it.

Maybe. That popular 89 though, might rear its head, lol.
