The National Weather Service just dropped a high temperature map for Oregon that looks like a sea of red, for very hot weather.

After a string of record-setting high temperature days, Oregon is looking at the hottest day yet of the July 2024 heat wave, which already is blamed for four deaths in the Portland metro area.

Temperatures could reach over 100 degrees in several areas of Western and Central Oregon on Tuesday.

“Dangerous heat will continue through Tuesday with more triple digit heat. Temperatures are expected to peak for inland areas Tuesday,” the weather service said Monday afternoon.

The excessive heat warning remains in effect until Tuesday night in most of northwest and west central Oregon and southwest Washington.

“Overnight temperatures will be slow to cool off each evening, only falling below 70 degrees for a short period each night, if at all depending on your location,” the weather service said. “The warm nighttime temperatures will limit chances to recover from the heat, exacerbating the risk of heat-related illness during this prolonged heat wave.
