OREGON & WASHINGTON - After a series of record-breaking temperatures, it looks like areas of Oregon and Washington could see a margin of relief.

“Thursday will be the final day that parts of northwest Oregon and western Washington see temperatures 5-15 degrees above average,” the Weather Channel reported, stating that reprieve is due to come to the region on Friday.

Although the western Washington areas and northwest Oregon will see cooler days as early as Friday, forecasts say it is still going to be on the hotter side for another day or so in eastern Washington and northern Idaho.

Seattle and Portland temperatures are set to slip into the 70 and 80-degree range this weekend, according to the Weather Channel, with the interior Northwest temperatures cooling down into the upper 80 degrees or low 90s.

Lower-elevation locations ranging from northern Idaho into both Oregon and Washington are expected to see highs in the 90s, with a few peaks into the 100s today before the lower numbers come in.

While it doesn’t quite look like the reprieve will bring rain, it does shift things away from the sequence of record highs that have been set daily over the last couple of weeks.
