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.

Monday, April 28, 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.

PG&E 7 Day Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) and Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS) Potential: Monday April 28, 2025 No Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events are planned for the next week. Dry and warmer conditions are expected today as high pressure builds over the region. Temperatures will continue to trend warmer through Wednesday or Thursday this week, followed by cooling on Friday into the weekend as cloud cover and chances of rain return. There could also be showers or thunderstorms in the Central and Southern Sierra during the afternoons this week. Fuels: The annual grass crop is transitioning from live to dead across the territory, with more advanced curing farther south. Meanwhile, live fuel moisture values are near peak annual moisture content across lower elevations and beginning to increase in the higher elevations. Dead fuel moisture values increased slightly over the weekend due to cooler and wet weather but will decrease this week as warm and dry conditions develop.
