After all, there is a record-breaking, deadly heat dome that has trapped hot air over the Pacific Northwest like a lid on a pot. According to the National Weather Service, this heat wave could smash eighty daily all-time high temperatures, and it could reach 100 degrees in Seattle, 107 in Portland (where the all-time-record is 107), and Spokane could hit a whopping 110 degrees. All in the middle of a drought, no less.
