Expected fire weather conditions have 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 lasting 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.
