>> this is an extraordinary event. this is a record-setting heat wave in terms of duration and in california, we need to step up and work together. >> a flex alert is in effect and state officials are warning if californians do not conserve enough energy, there is a potential for rolling blackouts. >> the heat is creating an amazing strain on the power great. -- power grid. we have reporting about how people are coping with the heat. >> let's begin with spencer

christian who is on the roof with the latest conditions. >> this heat is oppressive and it will be with us for a while. the current temperature readings, 93 degrees in san francisco. virtually every inland location has triple digits. it may be hotter in some locations tomorrow. we have an excessive heat warning through 8:00 p.m. wednesday for all of the bay area except for those locations around shoreline and coast. high temperatures will reach up to about 115 and the hottest spots and conditions like this produce the risk of heat-related illness. we also have a heat advisory for the shoreline locations. also one or two places near the coast as well. overnight, we will not get much will break. we will have record high warm low temperatures overnight with low temperatures in the upper

60's to upper 70's in some locations. it will be so uncomfortable and highs tomorrow will be in the same range as today perhaps even higher. i will show you a little bit later in the broadcast the 7-day forecast on will make an see a break in the heat. one clue, it may not come before the weekend. >> as we said, a flex alert is in effect for the sixth consecutive day. in the past 30 minutes, another alert has been issued for tomorrow. it is because state officials are very concerned about the strain on the power grid and even warning about the possibility of rolling blackouts. our anchor is in the newsroom with more on the concern about power. >> the rolling outages are a

possibility today and tomorrow is expected to be worse when it comes to the weather and electricity demand. that's why cal iso says everyone should be conserving energy from now until 10:00 p.m.. i want to show you a live look at the state power grid. this is real time energy demand. about 45 minutes ago, it seemed like the flex alert was working. there was a drop in the man, but since then, the demand has increased quite a bit. we are beyond forecasted peak for the day. if we go above that capacity, that's when the rolling outages may happen. cal iso says the impact on the power grid will determine the decision on whether power needs to be shut off for residents. if they determine is needed, they will communicate to the utilities about how much of a load to take off-line. then, pg&e targets circuit blocks to meet the total. >> tivoli, the goal is to keep

them as short duration and as little impact as possible for individual consumers. they would be moved across the system in order to minimize them and our expectation if we got there, we will do everything we possibly cannot to is that they will likely be relatively shorter duration as we move through the evening and eventually, demand starts to taper off. >> pg&e says they try to limit the rotating outages to about one to two hours per customer block. that is made up of several neighborhoods. they say if they need to shut off your power, they will try to notify you through social media or a text or phone call but that is not always possible. you can find more information through their website. >> we're monitoring multiple pg&e power outages right now and more outages occurred within the

hour. of the orange squares on the map, that shows up to 5000 customers about power. right now during an excessive heat warning. you can see locations in concord, pleasant hill, napa, cupertino, morgan hill, sunnyvale. these are not power safety outages and we do not have word on the cause of these outages. pg&e has not announced when the electricity might be restored. >> because the heat affects everyone differently, they have created a risk forecast. it is a scale similar to the air-quality index. from zero to four which is high risk for everyone over an extended time. >> the city of brentwood set a new record high temperature, but despite the oppressive heat, some were surprised to learn that a popular waterpark was closed today.

we spoke with some disappointed families. that waterpark would have come in handy today. >> absolutely. they were all looking forward to it. many kids behind me are enjoying the small waterpark located a couple of feet from city hall and brentwood. five minutes away, the waterpark you just mentioned many kids who showed up were not as lucky. this nine-year-old and 11-year-old don't know each other, but today they have something in common. >> disappointed. >> sad that there closed. it's a hot date. >> they showed up in their bathing suits ready to jump in the water. at first glance, they thought the park was empty. then they realized it was closed. what did you tell your kids? >> it's not a good surprised.

>> he said his kids went to bed last night looking forward to spending a family day at the waterpark. >> you packed this last night? >> yes getting ready and let's go. they were excited. >> in a message to city council members, the department of parks and explained where they had to close the waterpark. they said the forecasted temperature creates an increased risk for the staff working outdoors. he also added on a 15 minute rotation which would be shortness week ago each lifeguard would need to brakes after every two spots and we don't have the staff for that. >> during the summer time it heats up a lot. the majority of people are used to these type of days, but it is harder than usual. >> the city open to several cooling centers for residents.

this one is seen about 50 people per day. >> someone who is like yourself having a place like this -- >> it makes a big difference. i don't know what i would do if this wasn't here. sometimes the library they allow you to go in there as well. >> the family aquatic complex will be closed until tuesday, but small waterpark's this one outside of brentwood city hall will remain open. what you want to do with the weather of this type is either jump in the water or drink water one of those two. those are the only options. >> i say both. be in the water and drink water. in the south bay, gilroy often sees the hottest temperatures. in an area known for farms and ranches, sometimes the best way to cool down is at the mall. >> with record-breaking

temperatures in gilroy, it was a priority to seek out some place to be cool on this hot day. people flocked to the outlets, but animals were not as lucky. no air conditioning in the barns at this training facility in the south bay. the south bay heat takes quite a toll on the horses. this according to the co-owner. >> they are more durable than we are, but 85, 90, above 100 it's a little hot for any animal. >> when a heat wave rolls through, the horses enjoy a splash of water. regulating body temperature is critically important for horses and difficult and it is this hot despite being normally active animals to protect them from the heat, they are kept inside out of the sunshine and given plenty of water. keeping them safe is not always that simple.

>> sometimes their brains don't work the same as ours. because it is too hot, maybe the water is a little warm or whatever, sometimes they don't drink as much as they should and that's what can create problems. >> one of this issues is colic when they don't drag as much water. >> their digestive system slows down. they get impacted which means their food is not going through. the horses can die. they can start mild then progress quickly. >> even on labor day, he said his staff remained half -- hard work because the lives of these horses depended on it. >> use your common sense to gauge how much you work them and how much you do or don't. take care of yourself and your horse as well. >> beautiful creatures.

>> our anchor is in pleasant hill. >> judging by the look on my face, i would say not really hanging in there. if i'm squinting a lot, it's because my eyeballs feel completely dried out. nonetheless, i was able to find people all over the east bay who loved celebrating their labor day outside. before the temperatures hit triple digits, the thing to do when there is no pool insight is to hit the downtown fountain. >> we wanted to come out before it gets crazy. >> it is warm, but i want to be outdoors. here's what happens when you don't check the forecast first.
