Northern California residents and firefighters will get a brief respite Tuesday morning before the winds pick up, prompting additional power shut-offs and stalling progress in containing the massive Kincadefire.
PG&E could shut off power to 605,000 customers Tuesday and Wednesday. Southern California Edison could shut off power to more than 350,000 customers.
“The good news is after we get through this wind event, things do look favorable for the next five to seven days,” National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Walbrun said at a morning briefing in Santa Rosa. “No rain in the forecast, but also no more offshore wind events.”Even as Pacific Gas & Electric Co. has implemented shut-offs to prevent additional fires, Northern California continues to see small fires exploding throughout the region.
“It is possible that customers impacted by the Oct. 26 [public safety power shutoff] could be part of the Oct. 29 shutoff,” the utility said in a statement Monday night. “It’s also possible that power restoration for some customers impacted by the Oct. 26 shutoff will not be complete before the next safety shutoff must begin.”
