PG&E to Customers: Have a Plan for Upcoming Weather Systems<\/b><\/p>\n

After a Very Dry February in Much of Northern and Central California, Meteorologists Forecasting Rain and Snow This Week<\/i><\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nAfter an unusually dry February across much of Northern and Central California, there\u2019s finally some potential for rain in the weather forecast.\n<\/p>\n

\nPacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) meteorologists say a series of weather systems will impact its service area starting this afternoon and continuing through Wednesday, when the weather is expected to peak. PG&E meteorologists anticipate inclement weather, with valley rain showers, low-altitude snow and the possibility of thunderstorms throughout Northern and Central California.\n<\/p>\n

\nAfter the atmospheric river-fueled storm in late January, California had its driest February on record with 0.20 inch of precipitation, topping the previous record of 0.31 inch set back in 1964, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Weather stations across the Bay Area and interior parts of Northern California tied or set records for driest February on record, the agency said. San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, Oakland and other stations received no precipitation during the month, setting local records for the driest February.\n<\/p>\n

PG&E\u2019s meteorology team<\/a> has developed a Storm Outage Prediction Model that incorporates real-time weather forecasts, historical data and system knowledge to predict where and when storm impacts will be most severe. This model enables the company to pre-stage crews and equipment as storms approach to enable rapid response to outages.\n<\/p>\n

\nPG&E is urging its customers to take the necessary steps to be prepared and stay safe.\n<\/p>\n
