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, November 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. Periods of rain and higher mountain snow will continue across the North today with the precipitation chances spreading southward tomorrow, bringing the potential for moderate to heavy precipitation as far south as a Bay Area to Tahoe line with light to moderate possible down to a Big Sur to Yosemite line; areas across the southern interior will likely stay dry. In addition to the rain and higher mountain snow threat, gusty to locally strong southerly winds will develop over the North tonight and continue through Wednesday morning. The Northwest Coast and portions of elevated terrain in and near the northern Sacramento Valley may see gusts exceeding 45-50 mph as the weather system pushes across the area. The weather system will then lift to the north Thursday; however, rain chances may linger over the Northwest Coast into Friday. Fair and dry weather will make a return to the territory this weekend and continue through the middle of next week before another weather system brings the potential for the return to unsettled weather. Fuels: There is green up underway in the lower elevations across the North and parts of the Central areas, but the dead component still dominates the grass fuel loads. Live fuel moisture content in brush remains near critical levels after recently reaching annual minimum values. Dead fuel moisture values are currently wetter than normal but will trend drier this week. The latest 4 Month Seasonal Outlook from Northern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting normal fire potential area-wide November through February. Southern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting above normal fire activity along the Southern California coast from November through February with normal activity expected elsewhere. There are 10 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 778 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI. Additionally, 0 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
