Gov. Gavin Newsom said that California may continue to have serious power outages through Wednesday amid a West Coast heat wave that is projected to intensify over the coming week.

“We are likely to fall short and should face some episodic issues. These next few days, we are anticipating being challenged,” Newsom said at a press conference on Monday.
