This weekend is expected to bring extremely high temperatures.
Heat advisories and excessive heat watches had already been issued Friday, reports meteorologist Todd Gutner. He said the combination of temperature and humidity will create "feels-like" temps of around or more than 100 degrees. Through the first two weeks of July, meteorologist Keith Carson reports Portland has only recorded one below average day.
Gutner reports the heat this weekend will be "rough and downright dangerous for folks with respiratory ailments and the elderly."
