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, January 28, 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. High pressure will remain over the region today through Thursday with fair and dry weather prevailing across the territory. Winds will generally be light, at speeds under 25 mph. A return to a wet and unsettled weather pattern across the North begins Friday, as the first in a series of weather systems arrives. Periods of rain and mountain snow will continue through the weekend/into early next week, focusing on the northern half of the territory;  the south looks to stay mostly dry. Additionally, breezy to locally gusty winds can be expected. The unsettled weather pattern may continue into the middle of 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.

PLEASE NOTE: This forecast is published daily by an operational meteorologist from PG&E's Meteorology and Analytics team. This forecast has been customized for PG&E utility operations. It should not be used for any other purpose or by any other entity.
