Fire weather alert, PG&E shutdown possible

A ‘Red Flag Warning’ will be in effect tonight (10/19) at 11 p.m. through Wednesday (10/21) morning as gusty winds are forecast in the North Bay Mountains.

 

In addition, the National Weather Service has issued a Fire Weather Watch beginning Wednesday evening (10/21) through Friday morning (10/23) due to offshore winds and dry conditions.

 

In response, PG&E ‪has raised the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) potential to “WATCH” for Thursday (10/22) and Friday (10/23) in the North Bay, including Sonoma County. “WATCH” is PG&E’s medium level of potential for a PSPS.

 

Residents in and around Sonoma Valley may receive an automated phone call, text and/or email from PG&E advising them of the “WATCH.” Learn more at PGE.com/weather or by calling PG&E at 1-800-743-5009.

 

If PG&E determines that they will proactively shut off power, the most accurate way to determine if a location will be impacted is on PG&E’s Potential Power Outage Map.
