February 27, 2023 - Weather outlook: As expected, the next weather system in the current storm cycle moved ashore and has brought customer outage impacts across the central and northern part of the PG&E service area.
Winter weather in the form of rain and snow will spread across the area today and tonight. Snow is expected in the mountains generally above 1,000-3,000 feet North to South with significant accumulation in Humboldt and most of the Sierra above 1500-2500 feet. Gusty winds will accompany the precipitation today with wind gusts up to 40-45 mph.
The next wave of storms is expected to bring snow and extreme weather on Tuesday and Wednesday, including heavy snow in the Stockton and Yosemite areas.
Currently, about 34,000 customers are without electrical service, and more than 430 crews continue to respond to assess damage and complete restoration efforts. Access issues have limited the ability to make repairs in some areas; however, crews are re-evaluating access conditions regularly. Since Feb. 21, PG&E crews have restored power to more than 1 million customers (1,002,288 customers).
