FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS: SUNDAY & MONDAY
Today and Monday are First Alert Weather Days. We have the opportunity to break daily records as highs soar into the 90s.

Heat Advisories are active starting at 10 this morning and last through Monday evening. This does not include the Coast or Cascades.

Today will be our first 90+ degree day of the year as an upper-level ridge of high pressure is centered over the western U.S. Sunday will be warmest with highs in the mid-90s, and Monday highs will be in the low-90s.
First Alert Weather Days are active due to the unusually hot afternoons. We are expected to break a daily record high temperature set in 1955 today at PDX. Daily record highs in Salem are in jeopardy as well. We still hang onto the 90s Monday with afternoon highs forecast just a couple degrees shy of the daily record for June 9…
