Summer is still a week away and the Lone Star State is already sweltering
The blast of hot weather raises the potential for record energy usage, according to ERCOT, the council overseeing the flow of electric power to most of the state. The heat wave will push the Texas energy grid to its brink, forcing ERCOT to issue a “weather watch” through June 21, which are posted when they forecast high demand. According to ERCOT, usage is expected to be 79,455 megawatts Friday.
Further north, even Dallas will be in the triple digits over the weekend, running at least 10 degrees above normal. “Temperatures in the mid/upper 90s and high humidity will still result in heat indices in the 100-113 range,” the National Weather Service in Dallas said. “At this time, areas across the south Central TX have a higher chance to see highs in the lower 100s Saturday and/or Sunday.” The biggest danger for anyone who loses power is the overnight temperature.
