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.
Tuesday, April 22, 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. Morning fog/low clouds along the coast/through coastal valleys will dissipate later this morning leaving a fair and dry day across the territory. A weak weather disturbance will move through the region tomorrow and Thursday bringing a chance of afternoon/evening thunderstorms to the Humboldt, Trinity, and Shasta area mountains; otherwise, fair and dry conditions will prevail. Another weather system is expected to move into the territory Friday and Saturday, ushering in a more widespread shower and thunderstorm chance across the North and into central portions of the territory. A few showers could linger in the Sierra Sunday, otherwise fair and dry weather should return Sunday and last through early next week.
Fuels: New growth of the annual grass crop continues in northern parts of the territory; however, growth is beginning to stall in the central and southern portions, with some curing of annual grasses now happening in the South, especially southern facing exposures. Live fuel moisture values across lower and middle elevations are rapidly increasing as brush emerges from winter dormancy. Dead fuel moisture values will continue to decrease due to drier weather. The latest 4 Month Seasonal Outlook from Northern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting normal fire activity across Northern California for April and May, above-normal fire activity for the Sacramento Valley and elevated Bay Area in June then widespread above-normal fire activity across interior Northern California in July. Southern Operations Predictive Services is forecasting near normal fire activity for the South Coast area in April and May, above-normal fire activity is forecast across the Diablo Range and Sierra foothills in June with above-normal fire activity expanding along the Central Coast and southern Sierra in July.
There are 8 of 788 circuits in High Fire Risk Areas (HFRA) that are EPSS-enabled today. The remaining 780 circuits in HFRA will have devices postured in normal settings due to low FPI ratings. Additionally, 0 EPSS Buffer-only circuits are enabled today.
