The forecast for Monday has many of those same cities, with high temps 1 to 2 degrees hotter.

Another hot day today for inland areas. But, relief is on the way. S to SW wind will bring cooler air to the interior later today and mainly tonight. How nice, as temperatures drop back into 50s and 60s tonight. Little cooler on Tuesday, with highs 85 to 95. #pdxtst #orwx #wawx pic.twitter.com/EjpAAnEjdR
