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.

 

Wednesday, July 23, 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. An area of low pressure will continue to linger over the Bay Area and central territory through Saturday resulting in seasonably cool weather. Extensive marine layer clouds may feature patchy morning drizzle along the coast and over elevated terrain during this time with limited clearing each day. Farther inland, mostly sunny skies are expected with daytime highs remaining well below seasonal averages. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms are anticipated to become more widespread across interior mountains as well with most of the development expected along the central Sierra today before extending into the far North tomorrow and Friday. The probability of thunderstorms will continue through the weekend; although, development is not expected to be as widespread across the North. Fair and drier weather is expected to return next week with daytime highs warming back to near-normal across the interior, while remaining below-normal along the coast. Fuels: The annual grass crop is fully cured across 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 already at critical levels away from the coast. 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 608 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 180 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI ratings. Additionally, 3 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
