Friday is predicted to be the hottest day of the week with inland areas soaring into the mid-90s and low 100s this afternoon.
Heat-related outages occur most often due to transformer failure. Transformers, which help distribute power to homes and businesses, need periods of time to cool down, and that usually happens overnight, when temperatures drop, Sarkissian explained in an email.
"When we have unusual heat events with sustained high overnight temperatures, transformers are unable to cool down," she said."That puts stress on the transformer’s components, and they can become fatigued and can fail." The Bay Area will start to cool on Saturday."The sea breeze is going to pick up so that will help cool us off," Bingaman said."Interior areas will still have some 90s but it won't be as hot with low-to-mid-90s."
Sunday marks a more significant decline in temperatures as a low pressure system pushes into Northern California. The interior will be 15 to 20 degrees cooler compared to the peak heating on Friday. There's a small chance for very light rain in the North Bay on Sunday.
