forecasts we would look at to get an idea on what's coming down the road. as of nine days ago the forecasts were spitting out absurd numbers. they're small here so i will write them on the side. we were supposed to get up to 109 in concord today if you believed this, 126 in redding if you believed this. numbers seemed so absurd we didn't believe it and said let's give this time. there is probably a kink in the model. it never changed on the intensity. what happened was it shifted focus to the north and instead of the intensity of the heat wave over us which is what it looked like it was going to be nine days ago, thankfully the center of high pressure shifted to the north, not thankfully for them because in the pacific northwest they are 30 degrees above average. if you look at the comparison, here is the last seven days. the areas in red are experiencing hottest temperatures on record for this time of year. that's the last seven days. here is what we have to

remember. if you go back to the middle of june, you remember we had a heat wave? that was a heat wave in the middle of june centered to our east. we didn't get the worst but we had a tough time about a week and a half ago. that was centered over here and salt lake city two weeks ago recorded its hottest temperature ever on record. we have been surrounded. we have had two heat waves in two weeks. both were unprecedented and record setting. it is only a matter of time until this gets its aim right and we will be dealing with a situation similar to what seattle's got today. not in this seven days. i have better news than that for the next seven days. >> cal iso has not issue add flex alert but is urging people to conserve energy. california's attorney general just made an announcement adding five new
