Published 3:09 PM EDT Jun 11, 2019Folks in the western U.S. are sweltering under an unusually intense June heat wave, with temperatures soaring to near-record highs from Oregon to Arizona.
On Monday, normally mild San Francisco soared to a brutal high of 100 degrees, the first time that city has ever hit the century mark in June. The heat warped tracks on the city's transit lines, the Weather Channel said, and led to tens of thousands of power outages. In the Northwest, the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory from noon Tuesday through 9 p.m. Wednesday for the Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, metro areas. Near-record highs in the upper 80s and 90s are expected Tuesday and Wednesday.
“When you have temperatures this hot this early, what happens is people jump in rivers and creeks that are probably still around 50 degrees," said meteorologist Jon Bonk of the Portland office of the National Weather Service."The drop from 90 degrees air temperature to 50 degrees in the water causes a physical response – sometimes shock or a big intake of water or air, and that can be dangerous.

Lovely Baking Rolling Pin SetOnce upon a time, a pair of married bakers realized that if they wanted a bigger, more accurate rolling pin, they’d have to design one themselves. Born that day in Chicago's Lovely: A Bake Shop was the Lovely Rolling Pin, an extra-wide, super-accurate pin perfect for thin-crust pizzas, a batch of cookies, or really any other big doughy task you want to tackle. And with their smooth (and lovely-to-the-touch) wax finish, they guarantee that all that dough stays on the table, not on the pin. Set of 2 includes both 1/4' and 1/8' pin. Each measure 24' L x 1.75' H.
