Redmond breaks record on one hot weekend, but a bit of a cooldown due

Hope you're staying cool, Central Oregon! It's a hot weekend, indeed.

In fact, Redmond hit a record high of 100 degrees Saturday, breaking the old July 15 record of 99, set 50 years ago, in 1973.

A National Weather Service heat advisory is in effect for the High Desert until 8 p.m. Sunday, though Sunday's highs should be a wee bit lower, in the mid 90s, with 5-15 mph winds.

Our overnight lows are forecast to be in the low to mid 50s, and it'll get a bit windier overnight, 15-25 mph for a time.

The slight cooldown continues Monday, when we should top out in the low to mid 80s, rising to the mid to upper 80s Tuesday -- and then warming back up to the low to mid-90s later in the week.

Please keep yourself hydrated, and sunscreen is super important, so don’t worry about using it sparingly – slather it on! Your skin will thank you 10 years from now.
