PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Portland National Weather Service has placed the greater Portland-Vancouver area under an Extreme Heat Watch for Monday and Tuesday, June 22 and June 23.
Portland could see afternoon highs return to the mid and upper 90s, similar to earlier this week. Temperatures could even reach 100 degrees in some areas.
