PG&E says Public Safety Power Shutoff possible on Monday due to dangerous wildfire conditions

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is warning it could turn off power early Monday morning because of dangerous wildfire conditions.

Fifteen counties, including Sonoma and Napa, could see Public Safety Power Shutoffs due to dry conditions and high winds. About 130,000 customers could be affected.

PG&E says it has notified customers in 15 counties and five tribal communities about a potential Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) starting early Monday morning on December 7. Dry conditions combined with expected high wind gusts increases risk for damage to the electric system that has the potential to ignite fires in areas with dry vegetation.

High fire-risk conditions are expected to arrive late Sunday evening with high winds forecast to continue until into early Monday morning, peaking in strength during the day Monday, and possibly lingering in some regions through early Tuesday, PG&E says.

The highest probability areas for this PSPS are the Sierra foothills; the North Bay mountains and portions of the Central Coast. This is not expected to be a widespread event in the Bay Area at this time.
