Due to projected fire-weather conditions, Southern California Edison notified customers and the City of a potential Public Safety Power Shutoff on some circuits serving Yorba Linda. The period of concern is Friday from noon to 9 p.m.
Meanwhile, a tropical storm is bringing heavy rains and strong winds Friday and could create dangerous conditions in recent burn areas. But an end to the heat wave is finally in sight, thanks in part to Hurricane Kay, which is moving along the coast of Baja California and expected to bring clouds and possibly rain to the area by the weekend.
The agency also issued an Energy Emergency Alert 2 on Thursday, which will be in place until 9 p.m., signaling that Cal-ISO is requesting emergency power supplies from all resources to meet anticipated heightened demand. But with residents responding to the conservation call, officials ended Energy Emergency Alert 3 at 8 p.m. Tuesday, declaring"consumer conservation played a big part in protecting electric grid reliability."
It was 103 in Anaheim on Thursday, breaking a record of 102 set in 2015. It was 95 in Newport Beach, breaking a record of 90 set in 1984. The excessive heat warning was extended until at least 8 p.m. Friday for Orange County coastal and inland areas, including valleys in San Bernardino and Riverside, and the Santa Ana mountains and foothills.
"Warm and muggy conditions are expected through Saturday as Kay weakens and moves north," according to the NWS. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected, especially late Friday into Saturday with some periods of heavy rain possible. Then decreasing chances Sunday with slightly warmer temperatures. Temperatures will remain near or slightly below normal next week.
