"We continue to monitor the weather in those areas," Sarkissian said.
The power shutoffs could take effect between 6 p.m. Monday and 11 a.m. Tuesday. Nearly 10,000 customers in some Northern California counties are already undergoing power shutoffs due to the ongoing heat wave affecting a large portion of California. Most are in Shasta County, where nearly 8,000 customers are affected, Sarkissian said.
