DAYTIME TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE 70S AND 80S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA FRIDAY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR TEMPERATURES TO END UP HOTTER THAN FORECAST...OR WELL INTO THE 80S AND 90S THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. ONE WEATHER MODEL INDICATED THAT PARTS OF THE INTERIOR COULD REACH A SCORCHING 100 DEGREES NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...IT WAS STILL TOO EARLY TO TELL...WITH ANY CERTAINTY... EXACTLY HOW HOT IT WILL GET. HOT WEATHER TENDS TO LURE MANY TO AREA RIVERS AND LAKES. IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS...KEEP IN MIND THAT THE WATER IS STILL TOO COLD TO SWIM IN AND THE RIVERS ARE RUNNING SWIFT. JUMPING INTO THEM TO ESCAPE THE HEAT COULD LEAD TO DEATH. BE SAFE AND WEAR A LIFE JACKET ON OR NEAR THE WATER.

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE GREAT BASIN THEN PUSH INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THIS COMING WEEKEND AND CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK. AS THE HIGH PRESSURE AMPLIFIES OVER THE REGION IT WILL BRING INCREASINGLY HOTTER TEMPERATURES TO THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER COLUMBIA BASIN WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S FRIDAY AND OVER THE WEEKEND THEN ARE EXPECTED TO RISE BETWEEN 100 AND 110 DEGREES MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THE YAKIMA AND KITTITAS VALLEYS...THE FOOTHILLS OF THE BLUE MOUNTAINS...AND CENTRAL OREGON CAN EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM 95 TO 105 DEGREES MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. ALSO...TEMPERATURES IN THE MOUNTAINS ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 80S AND 90S BY THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK. THIS TYPE OF HOT WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME CAN INCREASE THE CHANCE OF HEAT RELATED ILLNESS. INDIVIDUALS ARE ENCOURAGED TO START PLANNING FOR THESE CONDITIONS AS THEY PREPARE FOR OUTDOOR WEEKEND ACTIVITIES OR WHEN WORKING OUTSIDE. IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT SEVERAL DAY HEAT ADVISORIES WILL OCCUR AS THE EVENT DRAWS CLOSER.
