How Hot? Too Hot?

Seattlest spent the morning begging our sister, who's moving herself, her furniture, and her dog over the Rockies today, to get some extra radiator fluid and watch her temperature gauge, because there's record-setting heat wave action on the other side of the Cascades.

It's 95 in Spokane right now (at 2pm!) and they're expecting to hit 103 today.

Further east, in Boise, they're expecting 107 on Friday, which would crush-bliterate the town record of 101.

Down south, the temps are prompting warnings to stay inside. It is not a good day to finally build that backyard fence in Baker, Nevada, where forecasters are predicting a high of 123.

In Oregon it's up above 100, which has forest fire watchers' ears pricked up.

Here at home we're looking at another mid-80s day today. It will cool down over the weekend to the mid-70s and then hot up again mid-week.
