…FIRST HEAT WAVE OF THE SEASON EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND FOR MUCH
OF SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON…

Summer weather is expected to begin in earnest across much of
southwest Washington and northwest Oregon this Friday, continuing
through the weekend. For inland valleys, temperatures will reach
well into the 80s Friday, possibly even reaching the lower 90s in
some locations. Further warming will make afternoon temperatures
in the 90s more widespread in the inland valleys over the weekend.
Offshore flow will bring sunny skies and warm temperatures all
the way to the coast, where highs will be in the 70s and 80s this
weekend. Gradual cooling begins Monday with inland valleys
reaching the upper 80s to low 90s, and coastal locations topping
out in the 60s and 70s.

With the hot weather expected, now is a good time to make sure
you and your neighbors have a way to deal with the heat. If you
have fans or air conditioning, now is a good time to make sure
those systems are operating properly.

Given a much-above normal snowpack in the Cascades, rivers are
running cold and fast, and will continue to do so this weekend.
Nearly every year, people die in rivers in southwest Washington
and northwest Oregon due to cold water shock during the season’s
first heat wave. Hot temperatures can make the cool water seem
tempting, but river temperatures in the 40s and 50s can easily
result in cold water shock that can kill in minutes.

…ICY AND SLICK ROADS POSSIBLE DURING THIS MORNINGS COMMUTE…

Clear skies have allowed temperatures to dip to near or below
freezing across much of northwestern Oregon this morning. Recent
precipitation and subfreezing temperatures will likely result in
frosty or icy roads during this morning’s commute, especially on
untreated secondary roads in outlying areas.

Motorists should drive under the assumption that roads are icy
until about 9 AM or until sunlight reaches road surfaces. Patchy
dense fog may exacerbate the issue by reducing visibility. Most of
the frost and fog should dissipate by mid morning.

THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING…

* WHAT…Sneaker waves possible.

* WHERE…In Oregon, North Oregon Coast and Central Oregon
Coast. In Washington, South Washington Coast.

* WHEN…From late Saturday night through Sunday evening.

run up significantly farther on a beach than normal, including
over rocks and jetties as well as lifting or rolling extremely
heavy logs. If you see someone swept into the sea do not swim
in after them. Call 911 and keep an eye on them until help
arrives.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…While the greatest threat for sneaker waves
at this time will likely occur Sunday, there will be an elevated
threat of sneaker waves beginning today that will likely persist
through the start of next week. Those digging for Razor Clams or
who will be visiting the beaches should remain vigilant.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…

A Beach Hazards Statement is issued when sneaker waves create
potentially life-threatening conditions in the surf zone. Caution
should be used when in or near the water. Always keep an eye on
the waves, and be especially watchful of children.
