The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a weather briefing on Thursday, August 5 forecasting a heat wave due in the Portland Metro area on August 10, the following Tuesday. Concerns for air quality, owing to forest fires in the Pacific Northwest, accompanied extreme heat projections. The NWS predicted Heat Risk for the Multnomah County area at “yellow” through August 9, and increase to mostly “orange” (with small areas of “yellow” and “red”) on August 10. NWS forecast all “red” for August 11 and 12. By Monday, NWS indicated there would be little overnight cooling during the heatwave. | |||
