* TEMPERATURES...Record high temperatures are expected inland
climbing to around 100 Tuesday...heating up to 104 to 107
Wednesday and Thursday with the heat likely continuing on Friday
with temperatures near 100. Low temperatures are expected to
remain warm, dropping only into the mid 60s to lower 70s in the
valleys. In the foothills and lower Cascades, overnight
temperatures will remain very warm at night with lows only in
the mid 70s to low 80s.

* TIMING...Temperatures will warm each day with significant heat
by Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be the
hottest days with record setting temperatures and poor night
time recovery. Friday could be another record setting heat day
and even Saturday will still be very warm with well above normal
temperatures.

* IMPACTS...The elderly, people without access to air
conditioning and anyone engaged in prolonged outdoor activities
will be be particularly vulnerable during this heat episode.
Local power demand is expected to be at high levels.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take extra precautions, if you work or spend time outside. When
possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water.

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by
heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke
is an emergency, call 9 1 1.

An Excessive Heat Warning means that a prolonged period of
dangerously hot temperatures will occur. Hot temperatures will
create a dangerous situation in which heat related illnesses are
likely. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room,
stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

Young children and pets should never be left unattended under any circumstances,
This is especially true during warm or hot weather when car
interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
