More than 12 million people across the Pacific Northwest are under a weekend heat advisory as unseasonably high temperatures as high as the 90s take hold across the region. 

A heat dome created by a high pressure area could raise temperatures at least 20 degrees above normal and may worsen wildfires in western Canada, according to the National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center.
