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 27, 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. As a weather system moves away from the territory, a few showers/mountain snow showers will linger this morning over the Grapevine/Tehachapi Mountain region, otherwise, a fair and dry day is on tap for the territory. Under high pressure, dry weather will continue through Thursday before the next weather system moves into the region, bringing chances of precipitation to mainly the northern half of the territory Friday through the upcoming weekend. Unsettled weather may continue into early next week, however, details are unclear at this time. 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 values vary across the territory but have increased significantly across the South due to recent precipitation. 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. 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.
