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.

 

Thursday, February 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. Fair, dry, and seasonably warm temperatures continue today with high clouds spreading in from the west. A cooling trend will begin tomorrow and last through the weekend as a low pressure system is set to rotate through Southern California resulting in more clouds and a slight chance of scattered showers along the Central Coast. Wet and unsettled weather should become more widespread over the weekend with the passage of another trough of low pressure, which is set to deliver rain showers to Northern California late Saturday through Sunday morning followed by scattered showers and thunderstorms during the day. Intermittent showers are forecast to continue Monday before drier weather returns overnight through Tuesday morning; however, current guidance suggests more precipitation could arrive as early as Tuesday afternoon with widespread rain possible next Wednesday and Thursday. 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 28 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 760 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI ratings. Additionally, 0 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
