California has issued a statewide Flex Alert for Friday, July 9. The alert will be in effect from 4:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.
The California Independent System Operator (ISO) issued the alert due to the extreme heat and high demand across the state.
NBC7, Flex Alerts are issued when the electricity grid is overworked due to high temperatures. ISO says it s a voluntary call on residents to conserve electricity. Such conservation would help ease the strain on the grid during the crucial evening hours when solar energy is diminished or no longer available, the ISO said.
While the heat risk is slightly lower in places at higher elevations – classified as “high” or “moderate” – most of the population remains at risk for heat-related illnesses, especially persons “who are sensitive to heat and/or those without adequate cooling or hydration,” according to the NWS.
In California, inland areas are expected to reel from the heatwave. The state’s largest urban centers, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, are along the coast, so they will see benefits from ocean cooling, and not endure the extreme highs.
“Temperatures are going to be about 10 degrees above normal for this time of year,” Diana Crofts-Pelayo, a spokesperson for California’s office of emergency services, said earlier this week. “This will be a record-setting heatwave.”

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - More triple-digit weather will bake parts of the Southland into the weekend, with the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita Valley likely to bear the brunt of the high-pressure system and the state urging energy conservation to prevent outages.
An excessive heat warning will be in effect in the Antelope Valley through 9 p.m. Monday, with the National Weather Service predicting “dangerously hot conditions with temperatures up to 113 expected.
Forecasters said temperatures won t drop dramatically overnight in the area, with lows expected in the mid-70s to mid-80s.
“Strong upper level high pressure will bring excessively hot temperatures to the interior valleys, mountains and deserts through early next week, with above normal temperatures most everywhere away from the coast, according to the NWS.
