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.

 

Saturday, January 4, 2025

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. Other than a few lingering showers this morning along the northern Humboldt coast and again at times tomorrow into Monday, dry weather is expected through the weekend and all next week. Breezy to gusty northeast or east winds are forecast for Tuesday and into Wednesday for most of the territory with the strongest winds over elevated terrain and the Sierra, especially the middle and upper elevations. Lighter winds are expected over the latter part of next week and into the following weekend with no clear sign of the next widespread rainstorm. 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 is 1 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 787 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI rating. Additionally, 0 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
