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.

 

Sunday, February 23, 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: Sunday February 23, 2025 No Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events are planned for the next week. Periods of rain will continue in the North today and while most of the rain will be in the far North, the occasional rain shower will be possible as far south as the Bay Area. A strong Pacific storm will move into the Pacific Northwest tomorrow, leading to breezy to gusty south winds in the North along with rain extending as far south as the Bay Area during the afternoon. There is a slight chance of a thunderstorm across the North tomorrow afternoon. The rain will taper off tomorrow night and then fair and dry conditions are expected on Tuesday and Wednesday as a ridge of high pressure builds over the region. There will be chances for showers in the central and southern parts of the territory on Thursday and Friday, followed by a chance for rain and mountain snow this weekend, but confidence continues to be low late this 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 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.
