Excessive Heat Continues To Plague Western States With No End In Sight (7-6-2021)

Scorching temperatures return to the West, persisting through mid-week, and reappear this weekend as multiple heat waves develop. Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, and Nevada, are still grappling with record-setting heat and diminishing water supplies from last month’s heat wave. The next round of daytime highs may climb into the 90s and or triple digits. There’s no end in sight to the hellacious climate.

“Excessive and oppressive heat across the Northwest will continue through at least the first half of the week where daytime highs will climb well into the 90s and low 100s,” the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) wrote. “Daily record highs will, once again, be challenged by Tuesday and Wednesday for parts of the Great Basin and northern California.”

Eastern Oregon, Nevada, and Idaho could hit daily high records this week as temperatures may print in the high 90s to triple digits.

“This will bring near-record temperatures and could possibly be the warmest day of the year thus far,” the National Weather Service in Boise (NWS) said.

As of Tuesday, excessive heat warnings have already been posted for eastern Oregon and western Idaho. There are also heat advisories with temperatures expected to reach triple digits in Northern Nevada, Northern California, and Southern Oregon.

Wildfire risks continue to rise for western states as a megadrought continues to dry out vegetation.

This week’s heat wave is expected to peak Wednesday for most of the region, but temperatures will remain above averages. Another heat wave is expected to appear in some parts of the West into the weekend.

Eastern Washington, Oregon, and Idaho could see daily records taken out by the weekend. Highs in some parts of Northern California may print north of 110.

Western states will remain well above average temperatures through early next week.

Here are some problems for residents in western states that may arise due to excessive heat: soaring power costs, rolling blackouts, worsening drought conditions, and dwindling water supplies.

Excessive heat? Nah, just another summer day. Here in Reno it is 93 degrees at my house, plus a breeze. Very nice really.

This isn’t unusual weather for mid-August in northern Idaho but it’s five to ten degrees over the normal July stuff. I’m ready for autumn myself.

“Excessive and oppressive heat across the Northwest will continue through at least the first half of the week where daytime highs will climb well into the 90s and low 100s."

That's pretty general. Summer heat in Eastern Washington is OFTEN in the 90s and 100s. On the West side, 90 degrees is rare - maybe three to five days a year - and 100 degrees is very rare.

Pay no attention to HAARP being turned back on. The ionosphere has nothing to do with weather. I swear.

Dont believe me? Check the FAA flight restrictions over the Alaskan HAARP facility.

The ionosphere is where cosmic rays and the solar wind cause ionization leading to cloud formation.

Are lower water tables a factor in the weather?

I know Lake Meade is at an all time low.

What? None of this is new. Media hyperbole. It’s hot an awful lot out here. I remember 106F in Salt Lake City around 1990. Over a hundred for day after day.

Where did all the water go? Oroville dam was so full they couldn’t let anymore water out a couple years back. How can the reservoirs be near historically low water marks.

They are lowering the production of electric power production. Its at 60% right now.

Expect CA to be cut off at certain times even more. California is the prime user of power from that dam.

My daughter and SIL have a beautiful house on 20 acres of trees a miles south of Priest River. We’re all hoping and praying that fire doesn’t wipe them out. Very scary time. It’s 101 in Spokane today. I lived in FL so can tolerate heat up to 97 before turning on air conditioner.

You both will be pleased to know it’s just Summer Out West.

Drama, however, has been generously added by the drama queens in the media. As usual.

Supposed to be around 76 for the next week or so in Western Washington. To me, that is nice summer days.

We had the three days that were hot for us, getting up to 110 in some places, but now just nice sun.
