Oregon Declares State of Emergency over Heat Wave
-------------------------------------------------

Oregon Governor Kate Brown has declared a state of emergency in 25
counties due to a scorching heat wave in the Pacific Northwest. In
Portland, temperatures reached 102 degrees Fahrenheit Tuesday, breaking
a new daily record which had been set just two years ago. Forecasts show
temperatures could rise above 110 degrees in eastern Washington later
this week.
