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.
Monday, January 6, 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 chance for light snow showers in the high Sierra tonight, dry weather is expected for the next week or longer. Breezy to gusty northeasterly winds are expected tomorrow into Wednesday for most of the territory with the strongest winds in the middle and upper elevations of the Sierra where gusts to 50-60+ mph are possible. Breezy to gusty winds are also expected in the far southern part of the territory (Grapevine area) where there is a Red Flag Warning in effect for Los Angeles and Ventura counties valid tomorrow morning through 6 pm Friday. Locally breezy winds will continue at times through the weekend with no clear sign of the next widespread rain event.
Fuels: New growth of the annual grass crop is occurring for many areas in the central and northern part of the territory. However, live fuel moisture values will remain seasonably low as brush is in winter dormancy. Dead fuel moisture varies across the territory, with higher values in the North where precipitation is ample, but much 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 from January through April. Southern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting above normal fire activity for the South Coast area until significant precipitation occurs, with normal fire activity elsewhere.
