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.

 

Friday, December 27, 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. A series of weather systems are expected to move through the territory today through the weekend bringing rain, high elevation mountain snow, and breezy to gusty winds across the territory. A weather system moving through the territory this morning will continue to produce scattered light showers, mountain snowfall above 6000 feet, and breezy to locally gusty southerly winds across the territory through this afternoon. Later this evening and through tomorrow, another weather system will move into northern portions of the territory bringing breezy to gusty winds along the North Coast and northern interior, rain, and minor snow accumulations across the highest peaks. Showers will continue across the far North through the evening. Another weather system will move through the territory on Sunday bringing rain, potential for isolated thunderstorms across the North and northern interior in the afternoon, high elevation mountain snow, and breezy to gusty southerly winds across mainly northern and central portions of the territory. Cooler, more seasonal temperatures are expected early next week with potential for valley fog formation several mornings. Fair and dry weather is expected to through the majority of next week, aside from potential for light showers across the far north Humboldt coast mid-to-late next week. Fuels: Dead fuel moisture values will continue to increase as winter precipitation is expected across most of the territory. However, live fuel moisture values remain near seasonal minimums and are entering winter dormancy. Lastly, new growth of the annual grass crop is occurring for many areas in the central and northern part of the territory. 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 0 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 788 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI ratings. Additionally, 0 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
