Another heat wave is sweeping across Southern California this weekend, triggering a statewide flex alert and excessive heat warnings. The coastal parts of Southern California will predictably stay cooler, with temperatures likely below 80 degrees. But inland parts of Los Angeles County could push closer to 100 degrees, with desert temperatures likely to spike to 115. The grid operator issues a flex alert when extreme temperatures ramp up and it anticipates an energy shortfall. The grid operator also encourages using fans and unplugging other electrical appliances.
