Northwest Heat
Sally Spencer, of Portland, cools off in a fountain Friday, Aug. 3, 2012, in Portland, Ore. The National Weather Service says many Washington and Oregon residents this weekend will feel the hot weather that has been broiling much of the rest of the country. A combination of high pressure and offshore flow will push temperatures into the 80s, 90s and even 100s in some areas. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)
