A dangerous and long-duration heat wave will build across the West this weekend through much of next week, leading to heightened wildfire danger and possibly increased coronavirus spread.
In California, the heat will lead to increased wildfire danger and a higher threat of the spreading of the coronavirus as people flock to beaches and recreation areas.
Palm Springs and other desert regions could approach 120 degrees and even cooler areas, such as coastal regions and portions of San Francisco, could reach 80 degrees, the Weather Service predicted.Late Friday, the Golden State ordered rolling power outages for the first time since 2011 as a statewide heat wave strained its electrical system.
The emergency declaration ended just before 10 p.m. and California ISO said power had been restored statewide. Excessive heat warnings and watches and heat advisories are in effect for the West Coast, Intermountain West, and the southern Plains, where record high minimum and maximum temperatures will be widespread, the Weather Service said.
