Eugene, Oregon – Triple-digit heat continues to scorch the Willamette Valley as Oregon braces for another dangerously hot day Tuesday, especially along the I-5 corridor from Eugene to Portland. Tuesday’s highs are expected to soar to 95°F or higher, raising health and infrastructure concerns across multiple counties.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, a Heat Advisory remains in effect until 10 p.m. Monday, with elevated risks lingering into Tuesday, particularly in the Portland/Vancouver Metro, Columbia River Gorge, and the southern Willamette Valley. Overnight relief will be minimal, with lows hovering near 66°F, keeping buildings and roads hot well into the morning hours.
Tuesday afternoon will bring full sun and light northwest winds, making shade scarce. Residents in Eugene, Salem, and Corvallis should avoid strenuous outdoor activities from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., hydrate often, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Emergency services warn that car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in minutes — never leave children or pets inside.
