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, June 16, 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 June 16, 2025 No Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events are planned for the next week. Dry weather will continue today and through at least Thursday. Rain showers will be a possibility in the far North either late Friday or Saturday, but the rest of the territory will remain dry. Temperatures will be warmer tomorrow, and that warming trend will continue Wednesday with highs ranging from the mid-90s to low 100s across the interior. Wednesday will be the hottest day this week with high temperatures generally around 5-10 degrees cooler on Thursday, but it will still be hot in the southern interior until highs return to the 80s and low 90s Friday and Saturday. It will be breezy across the territory Thursday through Saturday with localized stronger winds Friday, mainly along the immediate coast and elevated terrain in the Coast Range. Fuels: The annual grass crop is mostly cured below 2,500 feet but there are still pockets transitioning from live to dead close to the coast. Live fuel moisture is on the decline across the lower elevations after reaching maximum annual values earlier this month. However, moisture content is beginning to increase in the higher elevations where the growing season is later. Dead fuel moisture values will fluctuate over the next week and are generally trending drier but are not quite near 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 while trending above normal for inland areas through August then above normal areawide in September. Southern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting above normal fire activity for the South Coast area June through September. There are 657 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 131 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI ratings. Additionally, 16 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today. Please note: This forecast is published daily by an operational meteorologist from PG&E’s Meteorology and Analytics team.
