ERCOT issues Weather Watch for Wednesday, expects 'unseasonably high' temperatures

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) issued a "Weather Watch" for Wednesday, May 8.

ERCOT said in a post on social media the watch was issued due to "unseasonably high temperatures, high levels of expected maintenance outages during the spring shoulder months, and the potential for lower reserves."

The grid operator said grid conditions are expected to be normal during a Weather Watch and can be monitored online.
