BEND, OR -- A high pressure dome of warm air is building over Central Oregon, and will bring record temperatures for the weekend.  According to the National Weather Service, temperatures are 20-degrees above normal in Central Oregon this week, and it's shaping up to be the hottest June in 90 years. 

NWS Meteorologist Dennis Hull tells KBND News, the record temps are about more than simply warm weather. "We haven't had any moisture at the Bend reporting station this month. We're not getting much in the way of evaporation, and that would normally help cool the air and provide a little bit of moisture to the air. A lot of those things combined are going to create very warm, hot conditions across the area for much of the next seven days, especially starting on Friday."

As the mercury rises, health concerns also increase. "We just want to make sure people are informed about it; take extra precautions, make sure you've got enough water, stay hydrated, things like that," Hull says. "If they know that heat adversely affects them, maybe they want to stay indoors a little bit more, plan their outdoor activities during the cooler times of the day; so there are a lot of things they can do to mitigate the affects of the heat."

Bend's record high for June is 100, set back on June 25, 1926. Saturday's high is predicted to be 101.
