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.
Wednesday, February 19, 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.
PG&E 7 Day Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) and Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS) Potential: Wednesday February 19, 2025
No Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events are planned for the next week. Rain will continue in the North today with a few showers potentially making it as far south as the Bay Area this morning. The rain will decrease this afternoon and taper off this evening with dry conditions expected overnight and through the rest of this week. It will be dry and warmer for most of the territory this weekend, but some more rain will be likely in the far North starting Saturday night through early next week.
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 are trending drier but remain wetter than normal across most of the territory. The latest 4 Month Seasonal Outlook from Northern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting normal fire activity from February through May. Southern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting above normal fire activity for the South Coast area, due to drier than normal fuels, with near normal fire activity elsewhere from February through May.
There are 0 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 786 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI rating. Additionally, 0 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
