DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: It is heating up big time in Northern California. If you want to feel sorry for someone, how about the folks in Sacramento? A hundred and nine today. And, even in usually mild San Francisco, it's going to sizzle under the hot summer sun. Kim Yonenaka from our Oakland affiliate KTVU joins us live at a power station -- a place, Kim, was making news a lot last year. But apparently the AC is pumping just fine this year in California. Good morning, by the way.</s>KIM YONENAKA, KTVU CORRESPONDENT: Good morning to you. Yes, we are watching our power situation. We're not used to this. Right now in Oakland it's about 65 degrees, and that's normally our high during the summer months. So we're expected to get up there. Not used to that hot weather. And power officials in California are expecting to issue another stage one alert today. They also tell us that balancing the state's electrical grid will be more challenging today over yesterday because of the record temperatures expected in California, as well as throughout the western region. We are all being told to conserve energy. Basically, if we don't need it, they are saying, don't use it. Good news, power officials do not anticipate rolling blackouts. Yesterday's stage one alert was our first since last July, and hopefully we will stay cool and get through this today. That is the very latest from Oakland here in California -- back to you, Daryn.</s>KAGAN: And Kim, how are you and the crew escaping the heat there? I see they still make you wear a suit to work.</s>YONENAKA: They sure do. And you know, this is one time, in the morning -- we get up very early in the morning. We start at 4 o'clock. I was not cold. Usually they have the heat blasting; we actually have a air conditioner on. So we're going to go jump back in the van right after this.</s>KAGAN: Good. You go crank that AC. Kim Yonenaka. Thank you so much and thanks to your crew for standing out there in the heat for us here at CNN. We appreciate that. Blackouts>
