OKAY. HOPE EVERYONE IS STAYING COOL. IT ISN'T HOT. FRIDAY IN SEPTEMBER IT WENT DOWN ONE DEGREE SINCE THE TOP OF THE HOUR AT 93 RIGHT NOW. >> AND MY HUSBAND SAID IT BACK BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE ALL READY FOR THE COOLER TEMPERATURES HE GOES. I'M READY TO JUST NOT HAVE TO USE THE AIR-CONDITIONING. KNOW THE FREE AC AND WHEN YOU CAN OPEN UP THE WINDOWS, NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE WILDFIRE SMOKE. SO ALL GOOD THINGS ARE TO COME. WE'VE GOT TO PACK OUR PATIENCE. IS THAT GOING? 6 WEATHER ALERT STILL REMAINS IN PLACE. >> YEAH. THIS PICTURE SPELLS IT OUT QUITE NICELY FOR US. IT'S HOT. IT'S HAZY. IF YOU LOOK HARD ENOUGH, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE SKYSCRAPERS RIGHT HERE IN DOWNTOWN PORTLAND. OF COURSE, THIS IS THE VIEW FROM THE VANCOUVER WATERFRONT. THANKS TO THE 13 COINS HOTEL, INDIGO TOWER CAM RIGHT NOW. AS FAR AS THAT TEMPERATURE GOES, JUST LIKE ELIZABETH SAID, 93 RIGHT NOW IN EVERY DEGREE COUNTS, ESPECIALLY AFTER HOW HOT WE HAVE BEEN OVER THE PAST. 24 TO 48 HOURS, WE ARE EXPECTING TO SEE THE CLOUDS INCREASE ABOVE OUR HEADS AND ABOVE THE WILDFIRE. SMOKE IS THOSE TEMPERATURES STABILIZE, STAYING WARM ABOVE AVERAGE, LOW 80'S BY ABOUT 9 O'CLOCK. THAT'S WELL AFTER THE SUN SETS AND EVEN 70'S AFTER THE MIDNIGHT HOURS, OUR CURRENT TEMPERATURES UP AND DOWN THE I-5 CORRIDOR CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE BY A FEW DEGREES OUT TOWARDS SALEM AT 90. BUT THE SIGNIFICANT COOL DOWN. BUT THOSE TEMPERATURES OUT ALONG THE COASTLINE BACK TO THE MID 60'S AFTER A DAYTIME HIGHS AT WELL ABOVE THE AVERAGE. 95 IN THE BANK FOR PORTLAND AS WE SHOULD BE HOVERING RIGHT AROUND 79 DEGREES. BUT A SIGNIFICANT COOL DOWN FOR THE COAST AS WE BROKE RECORDS OUT TOWARDS A STORY. A WITH A HIGH OF ALMOST 90 DEGREES JUST YESTERDAY. NOW WE HAVE FIT BEEN IN NO SHORT SUPPLY OF THE HIGH HEAT OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. 23 DAYS IN THE 90'S IN PORTLAND. 28 FOR SALEM. AND OF COURSE, WE CAN'T FORGET ABOUT THE HANDFUL OF 100 DEGREE TEMPERATURES. WE'VE SEEN UP AND DOWN THE I-5 CORRIDOR HAS THOSE SAME LOCATIONS ARE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH POOR AIR QUALITY, MODERATE AIR QUALITY FOR THE I-5 CORRIDOR OUT TOWARDS THE CENTRAL REGIONS OF THE STATE. ALSO DEALING WITH THE UNHEALTHY AIR AS THAT ONLY CONTINUES TO TAKE US INTO THE WEEKEND. UNFORTUNATELY, SEEING SOME OF THE WORST OF THE SMOKE STILL PUSHING ITS WAY INTO THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY AS WE MOVE OUR WAY INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON, LIKELY GOING TO BE IMPACTED WITH THOSE RED SUNRISES AND SUNSETS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. IT'S NOT TIL SUNDAY THAT WE SLOWLY START TO SEE SOME CLEARING. YOU MIGHT EVEN BE ABLE TO PICK UP ON THE 80'S. CENTER OF THE WILDFIRE SMOKE TONIGHT TOMORROW, MUCH OF THE SAME. IT'S NOT TOO. WE GET TO SUNDAY THAT WE FINALLY START TO REDUCE THE WILDFIRE. SMOKE INCREASE THE QUALITY OF OUR AIR QUALITY AND REALLY START TO SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS BEFORE THE REST OF TONIGHT. MAYBE YOU'RE HEADING OUT TO ONE THE FIRST HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES OF THE FALL SEASON. THAT'S GOING TO FEEL LIKE SUMMER OUT THERE. 88 DEGREES FOR KICKOFF HALFTIME OF ABOUT 84 AND FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEKEND, EXPECTING TO SEE THE DRAGON BOAT RACES OUT TOWARDS TOM MCCALL WATERFRONT. WE COULD POTENTIALLY PICK UP ON A RAINDROP OR 2 FOR THE START OF THE DAY SATURDAY DRYING THINGS OUT BACK UP CLOSE TO 90 AND THEN A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS FOR US ON SUNDAY. SO HERE'S THE BREAKDOWN WITH OUR FUTURE CAST. EXPECTING TO SEE MAYBE A STRAY RAINDROP OR 2 AS WE MOVE INTO THE SUNRISE HOUR TOMORROW, IT'S SHORT LEFT. WE DRY THINGS OUT RETURN SUNSHINE, BUT AT LEAST THAT ONSHORE FLOW STARTS TO KICK UP. BY THE TIME WE GET INTO SUNDAY. THAT WILL GIVE US THAT MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS FOR SUNDAY AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO COOL. THAT'S WHERE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING COMES TO AN END FOR THE I-5 QUARTER HEAT ADVISORIES ALSO EXPIRING SEEN JUST THE SAME FOR THE RED FLAG WARNINGS OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN AND POINTS EAST AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO SATURDAY EVENING. TEMPERATURES, THOUGH THEY ARE ON THE COOLING TREND AND THAT DOES COME WITH AN INCREASE IN THE CLOUD COVERAGE. NO KOIN. 6 WEATHER ALERTS AND 81 DEGREES ON MONDAY WILL BE A NICE CHANGE OF PACE. 72 BY WEDNESDAY, MAYBE A LIGHT RAIN SHOWER HERE AND THEY'RE MAKING IT FEEL MORE LIKE THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER AS OPPOSED TO THE BEGINNING OF JULY, WHICH IS WHERE WE HAVE FELT LIKE WE'VE BEEN OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. SO THE IMPROVEMENTS THERE HERE, AND THAT WOULD BE ABOUT 30 DEGREE
