According to PSO, nearly 3,700 customers were without power late Monday night.   The utility says most of that service had been restored Tuesday morning.

The storm system will provide a brief break in the excessive heat. While we've been well into the 90's, temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80's for the next couple of days.
