The NW Large Fire Map shows a total of 6 wildfires burning. Most of the blazes are near containment. The two Oregon fires are less than 400 acres at last check. So far, our fire season is off to a fairly quiet start. Here is praying we stay quiet in the weeks ahead. The forecast does show cooler temps over the next 14 days.
Today's forecast high of 95 degrees for Portland will become the 7th day of 2020 with 90 degree temps or hotter. With the forecast outlook showing few if any days near and above 90 through the first 10 days of August, it is possible our summer season will hold near the average of 12-13 hot days for the calendar year.
