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 11, 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. A few showers will continue this morning across the far South as a weather system moves across Southern California, otherwise, a fair and dry day is on tap for the territory. Clouds will be on the increase this afternoon/evening over the North, leading to rain and mountain snow developing tonight; precipitation will become heavy and overspread the territory tomorrow as the next weather system moves through the region. Southerly winds will be on the increase today with gusts to 35-40 mph expected this evening/overnight, especially across the North. South to southwest winds will be gusty to locally strong over higher elevations tomorrow with maximum wind speeds reaching into the 45-55+ mph range.  Showery and blustery weather will continue Thursday with lowering snow levels along with a chance of thunderstorms over portions of the coast and Central Valley. The active weather pattern will continue through the weekend and into early next week as additional periods of rain and snow are expected as a series of weather systems moves through California. 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 is 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 ratings. Additionally, 0 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
