Due to high fire risk weather, PG&E anticipates it may shut off power to about 39,000 customers in the Sierra Nevada foothills, North Coast, North Valley and North Bay mountains Tuesday night.
The counties that could be impacted include Butte, Glenn, Humboldt, Lake, Lassen, Mendocino, Napa, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Solano, Sonoma, Tehama, Trinity, Yolo and Yuba counties. The majority of customers expected to lose power — about 27,000 — are in Butte and Shasta counties.
PG&E also expects that customers in the Berry Creek Rancheria, Mooretown Rancheria and Pit River Tribes may be affected.
These shut offs are anticipated as hot, dry and windy conditions in the region create an increased risk for electrical systems to be damaged and fires to ignite. A fire weather watch is in place for much of Northern California Tuesday night through Wednesday.
PG&E estimates that most customers will have their power restored Thursday morning.

If you do fall within the blackout area, this does not mean that you will definitely lose power, just that you are within the area that PG&E may shut off power to.
