HEAT ADVISORY SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY

July 25, 2020 7:20 a.m.

The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for most of southwestern Oregon.

Daily high temperatures in the region are expected to range between 95 and 110 degrees with overnight lows ranging from 65 to 75 degrees.

An Urgent Weather Message from forecasters said the advisory is in place from 10:00 a.m. Sunday through 8:00 p.m. Monday. Forecasters said very hot temperatures will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities.

The advisory said the combination of warm overnight temperatures, very hot temperatures with strong solar radiation, and dry conditions, will make it difficult to stay hydrated. Those outside should drink plenty of fluids, take breaks in the shade, wear sunscreen, and take precautions if venturing into cold water or rushing waters by wearing a life jacket.

Roseburg is expected to reach 100 degrees on Sunday and close to 100 degrees on Monday.
