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, April 9, 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. High pressure across the territory today and tomorrow will result in fair and mostly dry weather with warming temperatures. A weather system may pass through the North on Friday and Saturday, bringing slightly cooler temperatures, chances for scattered showers, and isolated thunderstorms across the far North on Friday. Breezy northwest winds with gusts over 30 mph will also be possible this weekend across the Sacramento Valley on Saturday and Sunday. Otherwise, aside from chances for showers across the high Sierra Sunday through early next week, fair and mainly dry weather is expected. Fuels: New growth of the annual grass crop is occurring for many areas in the central and northern part of the territory. However, live fuel moisture values will remain seasonably low as brush is in winter dormancy. Dead fuel moisture values will slowly decrease through the rest of this week and this coming weekend due to drier weather.
