Hazy, Smokey Skies and Hot Temperatures into Weekend

Low pressure continues to circulate over eastern Utah, spinning unstable air into eastern Oregon, reaching into central Oregon and circulating the chance for isolated thunderstorms with little to no rainfall as the weekend progresses. Clear skies and warm weather is expected to continue east of the Cascades with a slight increase in high temperatures over the weekend.

Much of the same is forecast for inland areas and the valley with hazy, smokey skies changing to clear skies and warm temperatures possibly reaching triple digits late in the weekend. Inland temperatures are forecast to continue to rise slightly with warm nights in low to mid 60’s, and afternoon highs reaching the upper 90’s and possibly localized areas reaching triple digits.

Along the coast, hazy skies from local fires are expected with localized areas of patchy early morning fog and marine layer lingering until late morning with temperatures in the mid to upper 50’s. Afternoons are forecast to be clear, sunny and warm, with afternoon highs warming into the mid 70’s.
