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, April 1, 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, mountain snow, breezy to gusty northwest winds, and isolated thunderstorms will continue today as a weather system continues to move through the territory. A few light showers will be possible tomorrow along the North Coast and elevated terrain of the Sierra through Friday, with dry weather across the rest of the territory. Fair, dry, and warmer conditions are expected late week through next weekend as high pressure builds into the territory.
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 will increase today thanks to precipitation, before slowly decreasing during the drier weather late week and this coming weekend. The latest 4 Month Seasonal Outlook from Northern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting normal fire activity through June. Southern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting near normal fire activity for the South Coast area in April and May and above normal fire activity in June and July 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.
