As an upper-level ridge continues to rebuild over the Pacific Northwest, temperatures are set to soar back into the triple digits. Along with the intense heat, wildfire smoke will begin to push northward today, affecting Southern Harney County and Malheur County, and reaching Eastern Oregon by Thursday.
On Friday and Saturday, an excessive heat warning is in effect, with temperatures across the valley floors likely reaching between 104-109 degrees.
Here are the Boise high temperature records for this weekend:
- Friday, August 2: 103°F, set in - 1966 forecast 106°
- Saturday, August 3: 105°F, set in 1949 - forecast 102°
- Sunday, August 4: 110°F, set in 1961 - forecast 99°
Saturday will bring some relief as late-day clouds begin to build, raising the possibility of scattered storms across southeastern Oregon and the higher terrains of southern and central Idaho.
Preparation Tips:
