PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A heat advisory is in effect Thursday for much of western Oregon — from Cannon Beach to Florence on the coast and Cottage Grove to Portland along the I-5 corridor as well as into southwest Washington.
The National Weather Service is forecasting highs near 100, which may cause heat-related illnesses for the elderly. Forecasters also are warning people not to leave children or pets in cars.
Forecasters say temperatures should cool slightly Friday but are likely to remain above normal.
Record highs set Wednesday were 94 degrees at Portland International Airport and 93 at Astoria.
