Possible PGE power shutoffs planned in parts of Bay Area
Oct 15, 2024
Expected fire weather conditions has sparked possible power shutoffs this week in parts of the Bay Area.
PG&E said the possible Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) could start on Thursday and last through Sunday. The timeline of possible PSPS aligns with the start of a Red Flag Warning the National Weather Service issued starting Thursday and through the weekend due to a system bringing hot, dry winds.
Residents can expect 20 to 30 mph winds with at least 40 mph gusts. Those living in higher elevations may experience poor humidity.
