PG&E could turn off power for a portion of its customers in Monterey and Santa Cruz County as tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon due to a potential Public Safety Power Shutoff.
This PSPS is still just a possibility for now and not certain.
Hot and dry conditions and high wind gusts are expected to arrive Wednesday evening for some parts of the central coast that pose a high fire risk.
Portions of the Santa Cruz and Big Sur mountains are the highest probability areas on the Central Coast.
The winds are expected to subside by Thursday or Friday morning.
The potential shutoff could impact 50,000 customers across 21 California counties, including 1,084 customers in Monterey County and about 1,680 in Santa Cruz County.
If power is shut off, the agency expects to restore most customers within 12 daylight hours after weather conditions pass.
