It was hot Saturday as we recorded our first 90-degree day, with a high as of 5 p.m. in Vancouver of 93 degrees. Today we’ll move upward to 100 degrees, or close to it. But we’ll set no records today; they were made last June in that dreadful heat wave we had.
The east winds were sure blowing strong Saturday, enough to whip your hat off for sure. That east wind made its way clear to the coast, and depending which communities experienced it, the thermometer soared.
Our high Saturday was topped by Tillamook with 96 degrees. Astoria reached 86 degrees, and the Long Beach Peninsula had temperatures along the beaches from the low 80s early in the day to the low 70s in the afternoon as their winds switched around from the north.
This heat wave will continue into Monday, with another 90-degree high temperature locally. Cooler sea breezes will blow our way Tuesday, and highs will drop to more seasonal levels. A strong marine push will be at the beaches, and we might get morning clouds Tuesday, with even some measurable drizzle.
