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, August 25, 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. Monsoonal moisture will linger across the territory through Wednesday, resulting in muggy conditions and a risk of thunderstorms across portions of the Central Valley, the Sierra and foothills, Shasta-Trinity Mountains, and the northern Sacramento Valley today and tomorrow. A Red Flag Warning is in effect through this evening for a small portion of the far North for dry thunderstorm potential. Thunderstorm activity will be more limited Wednesday remaining over the higher elevations of the North and Sierra. Temperatures will remain above normal again today over much of the interior with upper 90s to around 103F readings common in the Central Valley. High pressure over the region will begin to weaken tomorrow with a low-pressure pattern developing over the West Coast later in the week. This will result in cooler temperatures along with fair and dry weather conditions Thursday through early next week.
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 has reached critical values across lower and middle elevations. Dead fuel moisture values will fluctuate but are near 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 August while trending above normal for inland areas, then above normal areawide in September before decreasing in October and November. 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 August through September. Above normal fire activity is forecast over the far southern coast in October and November with normal activity expected elsewhere.
There are 674 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 114 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI ratings. Additionally, 0 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
