The triple-digit temperatures seen throughout California this week have put the state’s power grid at risk, prompting the California Independent System Operator to call for a Flex Alert in an effort to avoid outages. The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning through Friday, as temperatures are expected to hit 108 degrees in Turlock and up to 112 degrees in other parts of the Valley. The California Independent System Operator called for the Flex Alert on Monday, urging consumers not to use major appliances from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. through Wednesday.
