PG&E Meteorology is tracking a dry and potent weather system that is expected to move through the territory Sunday into Monday and generate strong and gusty northeast winds increasing through the day Sunday, peaking Sunday night into Monday, and possibly lingering in some regions through Tuesday. Although details are still evolving, sustained winds of 15-30 mph and widespread gusts to 40-50+ mph are possible across large portions of the territory. Relative humidity values will also plummet to the single digits and teens with the onset of winds allowing for critically dry conditions and fuels being very receptive to ignition. The areas with the highest probability of being affected by PSPS for this event are the adjacent terrain of the northern and western Sacramento Valley, Northern and Central Sierra, as well as higher terrain of the Bay Area, including the Santa Cruz Mountains, Central Coast Region and portions of southern Kern. Total PGE outages for Butte County are 18,672 customers of those, 1,798 are medical baseline. 1,398 of the medical baseline customers have been reached as of this time, PGE will continue with calls and door knocks to attempt reaching all medical baseline customers. Our event could last through Tuesday night with re-energization starting on Wednesday. This is still an evolving event. Dan Blair will check on the weekend availability of the Disability Action Center for AFN assistance. Our AFN population has used this service to a large extent in past events. As it stands currently, the timing for de-energization is between noon and 1600 hours Sunday. This event is including those from last week as well as East Oroville, Kelly Ridge, Palermo and Bangor. Pending the duration of the wind, which is still evolving and subsequent patrols and repairs if needed, restoration of the circuits is estimated by end of day Tuesday or possibly Wednesday depending on conditions. Community Resources Centers (CRCs) are established or are being established in Butte County as follows: Forest Ranch (American Veterans Store, 15477 Forest Ranch Way), Magalia (Magalia Pines Baptist Church, 14098 Skyway), Paradise (Lutheran Church, 780 Luther Dr.) Oroville (Southside Community Center, 2959 Lower Wyandotte Rd.) and Bangor (Bangor Community Center, Oro Bangor Hwy). CRCs will be open October 25, 2020 at 0800 and hours of operation are 0800 to 2200 hrs until restoration is complete.
