brentwood. san jose reaching 105. palo alto up to 100 degrees while oakland will reach into the mid 90s. all the dangerous heat continues and we're also going to continue to monitor for that potential of heat exhaustion, heat stroke. these are all real possibilities with several days on end of dealing with this hot weather. i'll send it back over to you, laura. >> thanks so much. 5:01 s. with the dangerous heat comes added stress on our power grid and threats of rolling blackouts. so far the rolling outages have been avoided. some neighborhoods are still enduring long periods in the dark. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez has a look at the big picture for us. >> this will now be day six of the extreme heat that's pushing power equipment to the limit. some families have spent the majority of that time without power. this is the pg&e outage map. as of this morning, most outages seem to have been concentrated

in the south bay. morgan hill has been hard hit along with parts of san jose. we'll update this map as we get more information from pg&e. pg&e says crews worked for hours on blown transformers. i saw crews on the expressway doing that. while they did that, families did what they could trying to keep cool, sitting on blankets, even bringing couches out from the house to be a little more comfortable. we met a mom of a 4-day-old baby who has been too fussy to sleep in the heat. the families have been spending a lot of time in their cars and a lot of money eating out. >> the kids have water and an ieft chess in the kitchen. right now we're throwing away or food or trying to go out to eat. >> there was one rolling blackout but it was a mistake, a miscommunication between the northern california power agency and cal iso. thousands of people were impacted in palo alto and alameda and healdsburg, they

lost power. fortunately it was just for a short time. laura, you see those little tiny toes. it's really hard for those babies, just four days old. we have avoided the rolling blackouts except for the one miscommunication. there's another flex alert. this time we've been talking about 4:00 to 9:00. this time they're asking us to conserve 3:00 to 10:00. even a little longer. >> everybody is having salads for dinner. >> you heard the sound bite, everybody is fighting in our house. just grumpy. >> for more on the heat wave, flex alerts as well as tips on how to stay cool and save energy, head to our website, nbcbayarea.com. you'll find a link to the resources on the trending bar. breaking news into our news room right now. new concerns about the health of

santa rosa is definitely going to smash this record. today's daily high is 100 degrees. we're expecting it to reach 111. in oakland it may match that high temperature record, go above that in livermore and definitely going above it in san jose. so another day of record setting temperatures. tomorrow we're back in the triple digits and we'll talk about the weekend coming up. mike, it's looking like it's really hot out there. hopefully your numbers are going down. >> always looking for deals. in sunnyvale, 4.73 at arco on sunnyvale saratoga road. at bon fair in vallejo, sacramento street the location for $4.79 a gallon. good range, good range of speeds as well as we look at the maps. overall i can draw your attention to the top of the map. we'll zoom into the eastshore freeway, the commute direction right now, early slowing from
