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, March 4, 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. Light rain showers are expected across the North Coast today, with mostly dry and fair weather elsewhere. Cool temperatures with highs in the mid-50 to low 60s are forecast across the territory through Thursday. A storm system will bring moderate to heavy precipitation, heavy mountain snow and breezy winds to central California early tomorrow morning through late Thursday. Across the North, scattered shower activity is expected tomorrow morning through Thursday, with a chance of isolated thunderstorms across the northern interior tomorrow afternoon and evening. Snow levels will start around 5000-6000 ft North to South tomorrow, and lower down to 2500-3500 ft by Thursday morning. Precipitation will taper off Thursday evening into early Friday morning as the system exits the South. High pressure builds in on Friday, bringing dry and warmer conditions to the Service Area through much of the weekend. Another weather system is then expected to move in Monday through Tuesday morning with rain, mountain snow and breezy to gusty southerly winds across the territory. The active weather pattern seems to continue through next week, with additional weather systems expected to move through mid to late 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 March through June. Southern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting near normal fire activity for the South Coast area in March and April and above normal fire activity May and June due to drier than normal fuels. There are 0 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 788 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI ratings. Additionally, 0 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
