We've been forecasting this for days -- and here it is!

RECORD BREAKING temperatures along the Oregon Coast. The official temperature out of the North Bend airport today was 93 degrees (keep in mind the "norm" is 67), smashing the old record of 86 in 1939.  

When the weather gets a bit crazy -- you e-mail me. I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy hearing from ALL of you. So, with this intense heat along the coast, here's just a sampling of your observations: 

• How about 91 in Coos Bay at about 2pm, 100 at 4.  I was parked on 101 going south and was in the shade.  my car registered 100 when I staarted out.  it was down to 95 to 93 by thetime I got home at 5.   it is way toooooooooooooooo hot for us, lucky there is a little bit of humidity.  hope it holds....The temp display in my car read 103 degrees at 5 pm (in Sumner).  (Temp measured by antenna on outside of vehicle.)

• 109-degrees at 4 pm on our balcony (across from Horsfall Beach/North Bend).
