Summary
Portland’s brutal heatwave is finally easing, with temps dropping 10-15 degrees into the low 80s thanks to a cool northwest breeze — but that same wind is whipping up dangerous gusts east of the Cascades, triggering Red Flag Warnings and fueling wildfire fears. While western Oregon and Washington breathe easier with clearer skies, the rest of the region braces for sustained above-average heat, dry conditions, and a dangerous heat surge just in time for Father’s Day — summer’s here to stay.
