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, June 4, 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. Areas of low clouds along the coast should clear by late morning, followed by clear skies across the territory with periods of breezy onshore winds; across central and southern Sierra afternoon showers/isolated thunderstorms are expected. Additionally, breezy northerly winds have developed overnight across portions of the northern and western Sacramento Valley, with gusts up to 35 mph possible throughout the day today. Apart from chances for isolated afternoon isolated showers and thunderstorms over the high Sierra and northern mountains, fair and dry weather will continue over the territory through the weekend and into early next week with temperatures trending higher this weekend.
Fuels: The annual grass crop is mostly cured below 2-3000 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 thru 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 564 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 224 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI rating. Additionally, 32 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
