NEW YORK — Excessive heat warnings were in effect for parts of the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday, as temperatures topped 100 degrees.
Portland, Oregon hit 102 degrees, while in Redding, California, temperatures reached 103 degrees. Temperatures in Medford, Oregon, climbed to 107 degrees on Monday.
The extreme heat will persist in the region for the rest of the week, according to the National Weather Service. The record for most consecutive days where temperatures were 95 degrees and up in Portland is six days -- this heat wave could break or tie that record. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown declared a state of emergency on Tuesday for 25 of the state's counties until July 31.
