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, July 15, 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 weather system passing to the north of the territory along with weakening high pressure will bring a stronger onshore flow into the Bay Area, through the Delta and into the Central Valley. As a result, cooler temperatures, and locally breezy to gusty conditions can be expected through the Delta and portions of the Central Valley, where gusts to 30-35 mph are likely. Seasonable temperatures will continue along the coast this week, while interior locations see highs retreating to slightly below normal, topping out in the 80s and lower 90s. Later this week and through the weekend, a slow warming will bring interior temperatures back to normal, in the 90s to around 100F while coastal areas remain seasonably cool. Dry conditions will continue through the period aside from a slight chance for afternoon thunderstorms across the high Sierra.
Fuels: The annual grass crop is fully cured across most of the territory and features above normal loading across the northern half of the territory and near to below normal loading farther south. Live fuel moisture is on the decline across all elevations and is approaching critical values for flammability below 3000 ft. Dead fuel moisture values are approaching or below critical levels at this time. The latest 4 Month Seasonal Outlook from Northern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting normal fire activity for near Coastal Areas for July and August while trending above normal for inland areas through August then above normal areawide in September. In October, above normal conditions continue over southern Humboldt, Bay Area, and Sacramento Valley while normal conditions are forecast elsewhere. Southern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting normal fire activity along the immediate southern coast and southern interior while above normal fire activity is predicted for the surrounding terrain of the San Joaquin Valley July through September. Above normal fire activity is forecast over the far southern coast in October with normal activity expected elsewhere.
There are 631 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 157 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to lower FPI ratings. Additionally, 25 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
