Roseburg is expected to see a near record high temperature for the date on Wednesday, before some cooling begins to impact the Umpqua Valley.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Medford told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that the high is forecast to be 99 degrees. The record high for July 16th is 104 degrees, set in 1941.

Forecasters said a weakening ridge of high pressure will bring afternoon highs down to the low 90s for Thursday and Friday. A deeper trough will bring cooler temperatures starting Saturday with highs dropping to the mid to upper 80s. That is close to normal or slightly below normal temperatures.

The mercury reached 91 degrees on Tuesday at the Roseburg Regional Airport.
