Pacific Gas & Electric Co. is preparing for possible public safety power shutoffs due to forecasted conditions that increase wildfire risk across Northern and Central California.
The utility's meteorologists have indicated the potential for dry offshore winds, known as Diablo winds, which can elevate fire risks in the region's dry vegetation.
Forecasts warn of gusty winds and red flag conditions, with the possibility of outages affecting up to 30 counties from Fresno to Redding through the weekend.
Officials have issued a red flag warning for major portions of the Valley and Bay Area, highlighting the urgency of the situation as conditions worsen.
