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.
Saturday, May 24, 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. After a morning of extensive coastal fog/low clouds, fair and slightly warmer weather is expected today and tomorrow away from the coast along with a persistent sea breeze and a return of coastal fog/clouds tonight. Fair weather continues next week across the territory with seasonable temperatures early in the week followed by a chance for warmer temperatures toward the middle and latter part of the week, especially across the interior. The exception to the fair weather could be over the Sierra where afternoon showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible next week.
Fuels: The annual grass crop has cured across the interior below 2500 feet but is still transitioning from live to dead in the Coastal Ranges. 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 near critical levels at this time. The latest 4 Month Seasonal Outlook from Northern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting normal fire activity across Northern California for May, and near to above-normal fire activity June through August for areas away from the coast. Southern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting near normal to slightly above normal fire activity for the South Coast area in June and in the interior locations during July and August.
There are 456 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 332 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI ratings. Additionally, 2 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
