The information in this map is intended only to provide customers with a general estimate regarding potential locations that may be impacted by a PSPS event should one become necessary. Conditions affecting a possible PSPS event can change quickly and the actual impact of a future PSPS event is uncertain.

 

Tuesday, December 31, 2024

NOTE: This forecast is based on weather conditions and fuel moisture content only. It does not include other criteria used to determine whether a PSPS may be necessary. This forecast only provides a broad overview for a potential PSPS event in the next 7 days. It is determined from an analysis of forecast weather, the potential for wind-related damage, and fuel moisture content in dead and live vegetation. It is not a fire danger forecast. The forecast is broken down by county. PSPS decisions are made at more granular levels. Only a portion of a county may experience a PSPS event. While a PSPS event may not be expected for an area, due to the interconnectivity of the grid any location within PG&E territory may be subject to PSPS event.

No Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events are planned for the next week. Fair and dry weather is expected to continue today as high pressure settles over the territory. A weak front will bring scattered showers to the Humboldt coast tomorrow and Thursday with dry weather continuing elsewhere. Another front will spread rain and breezy winds across the northern half of the territory on Friday. Dry weather might then return Saturday and linger well into next week. Fuels: Live fuel moisture values remain near seasonal minimums and are entering winter dormancy. New growth of the annual grass crop is occurring for many areas in the central and northern part of the territory. Dead fuel moisture varies across the territory, generally higher in the North where precipitation is ample, but lower across the South where precipitation has been more lacking. The latest 4 Month Seasonal Outlook from Northern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting normal fire activity across the entire territory December through March while Southern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting normal to above normal fire activity in December followed by normal fire activity January through March. There are 2 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 786 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI ratings. Additionally, 0 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
