Staff Report
With a wet and cold winter storm arriving late Wednesday, and lasting through the weekend, PG&E is urging its customers to take the necessary steps to be prepared and stay safe.
Wet and windy weather will move north to south, impacting coastal and inland areas of Northern and Central California. Cold temperatures will bring snow to elevations below 1,000 feet in Northern California mountains and as low as 1,500 feet in Central California mountains. The most significant impact is expected along the northern coast and in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
“The cold, windy and wet weather might come as a surprise after the spring-like conditions so far in 2018, but we are very much still in winter. We encourage everyone to have a plan for this week’s storm and to be prepared for outages that could occur. We are closely tracking the weather and are ready to restore service safely and as quickly as possible,” said Pat Hogan, senior vice president, Electric Operations.
